Description
Keep House is a house that has been converted into an office, dating from the mid-18th century and the 19th century. It is built of squared coursed limestone and features a Collyweston slate roof. The original layout was a three-unit plan. The building has two storeys with an attic and a four-window range of 19th-century cross windows with margin lights, all set under gauged stone arches. There is a 19th-century canted stone bay window on the ground floor to the far left and 20th-century French doors to the far right. A 19th-century gabled porch is located to the right of the centre, which includes a panelled door and a shield with inscribed initials. The house also has four 19th-century wooden roof dormers, ashlar gable parapets, and kneelers, along with renewed stone stacks at the ridge and end. The interior has not been inspected.
