Description
Harris Garth and Stone Bower, along with the garden wall and gateposts, were originally one house but are now two separate residences. The building is dated 1837 on the left-hand return and was commissioned by Grace Hetherington. It features watershot masonry with stone dressings and a slate roof. The structure is two storeys high and has three bays.
The central entrance porch is supported by two Tuscan columns and two engaged pilasters, topped with an entablature and a moulded cornice. The entrance door has six panels, with the upper four consisting of two octagonal and two circular glazed panels, and is complemented by a rectangular fanlight with geometrical glazing. The ground floor has two windows and the upper floor has three windows, all with plain surrounds and sashes. There is an upper floor sill band and chamfered quoins, along with paired eaves modillions. A ridge stack is located on the right-hand gable end, while the left-hand side features a hipped roof where it connects with Stone Bower.
On the left-hand return, the building is also two storeys and has two bays. The entrance is positioned to the left of centre and has a plain surround with a six-panel door, the upper four of which are glazed. There are two windows on each storey, all with plain surrounds and sashes. An upper floor sill band is present, with a stone inscription above that reads:
GH STONE BOWER 1837
