Description

This is an early 19th century house built at a right angle to the road. It is constructed of coursed, squared rubble with rusticated quoins to the front elevation. The roof is graduated slate with stone end chimneys. The symmetrical two-storey, three-bay front features a 20th century glazed porch to a central panelled door. Sash windows with glazing bars are positioned on either side of the door and above, with the central upper window originally blind. All openings are set within stone surrounds. Inside, a ground floor passage arch has reeded pilasters and a soffit. Original panelled doors remain throughout the house.
