Description

Quarry House is an early 19th-century house that incorporates elements from an earlier structure and has been modernized in the 20th century. It is built of chiselled limestone with a pantile roof and some rebuilt brick stacks. The house has a double-depth plan and is two stories tall with an attic, featuring a two-window front and two-storey, single-window flanking wings. In the center, there is a 20th-century French door, and to the left, a canted bay with a cornice and small-pane sash windows. The first-floor windows are two-light, small-pane horizontal sliding sashes with wedge lintels, while a smaller horizontal sliding sash is located in the attic. The wings have two-light, small-pane casements with segmental brick arches on the ground floor and inserted wedge lintels on the first floor. All windows are fitted with painted stone sills. The roofs are M-shaped with coped gables and shaped kneelers, and there are end stacks at the center and at the wings.

Inside, there is a closed-string staircase that is panelled below, featuring clustered straight balusters, an octagonal newel, and a ramped-up, moulded handrail that rises through the first floor to the attic. The ground and first-floor front rooms have panelled shutters. The ground-floor room to the right has architraves with flutes and paterae, while the first-floor room to the right boasts a moulded recessed ceiling and a hob grate in the fireplace adorned with late 19th-century nursery-rhyme tiles.
