Description
The Laundry House is a laundry building with accommodation above, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of mottled pink-brown brick in English garden wall bond and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and four first-floor windows, with a six-panel door at the entrance. The ground floor has 24-pane sash windows, while the upper floor has 12-pane sash windows, all set beneath cambered brick arches and with stone cills. The roof is hipped, and there is a stack at the rear right.
Inside, the floors are made of stone flags. The left side of the interior includes a bricked-up fireplace with a later boiler in front, two drying racks suspended by chains from the ceiling, and a staircase with turned balusters leading to the accommodation above. The right room features a wooden sink range with one brass tap along the front wall, and on the rear wall, there are two set pots with grates beneath and a large pump in the right-hand corner.
