Description
Quaker House is a Friends' Meeting House and cottage built in 1776, which was converted into a house in the 1920s. The building features a combination of render and dressed stone with a stone slate roof. It is a single range structure with quoins, coped gables, and kneelers, and has one chimney. The meeting house is one storey high and has three bays, with an additional entrance bay to the right and a single bay for the cottage, both of which are two storeys tall.
The meeting house has large windows with plain stone surrounds, sashed with all glazing bars, and a similar smaller sash window above the door. The cottage windows consist of two lights with square mullions and sashes. There is a six-panel door with a rectangular fanlight in a plain stone surround. A doorway next to the right-hand gable has been blocked. Although the interior has been largely altered, some portions of the gallery from the meeting house have been preserved.
