Bleak House And Boundary Wall And Railings

Bleak House, built around 1880, is a house made of random coursed gritstone with gritstone dressings. It features a steeply pitched stone slate roof with deeply overhanging eaves, and has a ridge stack, a gable end stack, and an eaves stack, all of which are circular on rectangular bases. The house is two storeys tall with a single storey east wing.

On the south elevation, all windows have recessed chamfered mullions and eight-paned glazing bars with top hung casements. There is a gabled bay with two 3-light windows on the ground floor, plus a fourth light on the corner that is cut away at an angle to resemble a chamfer with stops. The first floor has two 2-light windows connected by a blocked panel of equal size, and there is a blind spherical triangle in the gable. The single storey wing features a gabled porch hood with a recessed porch, which has a 20th-century door, and a 4-light window to the right.

At the front, there is a low, coped boundary wall topped with iron railings.
