Description
This is a late 18th or early 19th century house, originally a single dwelling, which has since been divided into two separate homes. The house is built of painted roughcast walls with vertically aligned quoins, set beneath a roof of graduated greenslate, with a hipped roof over an extension. It has chimney stacks of banded ashlar. The main part of the house has two storeys and three bays, with a two-storey, four-bay rear extension, now a separate dwelling. The central doorway is a 20th-century addition, set within a doorcase of fluted pilasters with Corinthian capitals, topped by an urn-and-ribbon frieze and a pediment. Flanking the doorway are canted bay windows with sash windows containing glazing bars, all within painted stone surrounds. The left return wall continues as part of the extension, partly bowed, with sash windows in painted stone surrounds. A right return wall features a fanlight window above a sash window. A further extension has a plank door and a large, segmental-headed window.
