Description
Moss House and Bouch House are two adjoining houses built in the early and late 18th century. They feature painted incised stucco with angle pilasters and an eaves cornice, set on a chamfered plinth. The roofs are made of Welsh slate, with a kneeler on the left side, and both houses have painted stucco chimney stacks. Moss House has roughcast walls beneath a Welsh slate roof and painted roughcast chimney stacks.
Moss House is two storeys high with three bays, while Bouch House is lower, with two storeys and four bays. Moss House includes a six-panel door with an overlight, framed by a painted architrave and topped with a shell hood. It has sash windows with glazing bars, all set in painted stone architraves. Bouch House features a four-panel door and sash windows, including a fixed casement with glazing bars on the ground floor right, all within painted stone surrounds. There are smaller fire windows in chamfered surrounds on the right side of both floors.
