Oaklea

Oaklea is an early to mid-18th century house of two storeys and a basement, originally with three windows. The house has a high-pitched tiled roof with end chimneys, one of which was stuccoed at a later date. The cornices are of moulded wood with brick dentils. The walls are stuccoed, and the recessed sash windows have glazing bars; those on the ground floor are three-light with segmental arches, all set within box frames. The front door consists of two flat, two fielded, and two glazed panels, set within a deep panelled reveal. It is surrounded by a wide, reeded architrave with paterae at the angles, and features a cornice hood resting on curved brackets, accessed by four stone steps. The rear elevation is of malmstone with brick dressings. Oaklea forms a group with the adjacent property at number 84.
