Description

Number 30 (Piercy House) and Number 32 are a house and attached outbuilding, now functioning as a house and cottage. They date from the mid-18th century but have earlier origins and were subdivided in the early 19th century. The house features hammer-dressed sandstone at the front on a rubble plinth, with coursed rubble sandstone on the sides and rear, and ashlar quoins. It has a pantile roof and rebuilt brick stacks. The cottage is made of coursed rubble sandstone and also has a pantile roof.

The house has a central stairhall plan, is one room deep, and includes a staircase and service outshut, with a later kitchen added to the rear. It is two stories high with a three-window front. The central entrance has a six-panel door beneath a divided rectangular fanlight. All windows are 16-pane sashes with stone sills, and heavy, plain lintels are present above all openings. The eaves course is cavetto-moulded, and the gables are coped with shaped kneelers. There are end stacks.

The cottage features a six-panel door accessed by stone steps, located to the left of a two-light small-paned horizontal sliding sash window, with a similar window above. Inside the house, original fittings include six-panel doors with moulded, fielded panels and moulded architraves. The early 18th-century open string, cantilevered staircase has turned balusters, a fluted and reeded column newel, and a wreathed handrail. Fielded dado panelling is present on the first floor. A firehood survives in the first-floor room to the right, along with a later stone fireplace featuring a corbelled-out lintel with scrolls beneath the bressumer in the room below. Cupboards with panelled doors on H-L hinges are located on either side. In the ground floor room to the left, there is a carved stone fireplace with attached fluted and reeded columns, a moulded architrave, a carved frieze with strapwork panels, and a dentilled cornice shelf. The fielded dado panelling continues across a blocked doorway into the cottage.
