Description
Diamond Napier House is a house dated 1756, constructed from ashlar sandstone with a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and three bays, featuring a plinth and chamfered rusticated quoins. There are sill bands at both the ground and first floors. The central porch is single-storey and chamfered, with rusticated side walls and a flat slab roof that has an ovolo edge forming a cornice. Inside the porch, there are shell niches in each side wall and a plain inner door surround. Above the porch, there is a stone plaque inscribed with "IW" and the date 1756. Above this, a blocked opening is framed by an eared architrave and includes a firemark. The house has small window openings with flush quoined surrounds and keystone moulding on the monolithic lintels. It features a cyma reversa cornice, shaped kneelers, and ashlar coping, along with corniced end stacks.
