Description
The Old House is a house dating from the mid-18th century and the 19th century. It features a roughcast exterior over brick and has a pantile and lead roof. The building is two storeys high and consists of five bays. On the right side, there is a three-bay house with a central, added single-storey porch, while the left side has a two-bay, two-storey extension. The porch includes a six-panel door with a rectangular fanlight above it. To the right of the two-storey extension, there is a 20th-century half-glazed door. The house has sash windows with glazing bars set in flush wood architraves, although the left extension has 20th-century sashes. The roof features ashlar copings and end stacks, with two additional stacks along the ridge. Both the porch and the left extension are topped with battlements.
