Description
The Laurels is a house dating from 1718, marked by a datestone bearing the name 'John Driver'. It is constructed of squared coursed lias and features a plain tile roof. Originally designed with a two-unit plan, the house is two stories high and has a three-window range of casements that sit beneath wooden lintels. There are brick stacks at both ends of the building. To the right, there is a single-storey extension added in the late 18th century, which includes a 20th-century door. A datestone is located to the left of the entrance. Inside, the room to the left of the entrance retains the remains of an open fireplace with a bressumer and central ceiling beams.
