Description
Deerclose is a late 17th-century house and outbuilding that now functions solely as a house. It is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof and has two storeys featuring a symmetrical arrangement of four first-floor windows. The house has quoins on the right side and a central part-glazed door set within a chamfered quoined ashlar surround.
On the ground floor, there are four-light double-chamfered mullion windows with a central king mullion, while the first floor has later three-light double-chamfered mullion windows. There are chimney stacks located to the left of the door and at the right end of the building. The former barn section has a blocked door to the left and an inserted five-light chamfered mullion window on the ground floor, along with two two-light chamfered mullion windows on the first floor that feature 18th-century architraves reused as lintels.
To the left, there is coping, and a 20th-century flat-roofed sun lounge that is not of special interest. At the rear, there are part lean-to and part flat-roofed extensions, which are also not of special interest. Inside, the ground-floor room to the right has a stone flag floor and a mid to late 18th-century ashlar fireplace, which features a segmental-arched soffit to the lintel, pilaster capitals, and a cyma recta cornice.
