Description
Owlet House is a farmhouse built around 1830. It features dressed sandstone on a squared rubble base and has a stone slate roof. The building originally had a central staircase plan and stands two storeys high with four bays. A Tuscan porch with a plain surround leads to the entrance, which has a six-panel door and a six-pane rectangular fanlight above it. Each storey has four windows with plain lintels, projecting sills, and sashes with glazing bars, except for the two left-hand windows on the upper floor, which are blind. The eaves have modillions, and there are ridge stacks on the right-hand gable and to the right of the centre. To the left of the house is a one-bay barn built in the same style. Inside, there is a thick spine wall from an earlier building and two early 19th-century fireplaces.
