Description
Laurence House is a house built in the second half of the 18th century, with additions and alterations from the 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys with an attic and features three bays, along with a 19th-century wing of two sections added to the rear right.
The central entrance is a flat-roofed brick porch that contains a six-panel door, with the top two panels being glazed, framed by a reeded architrave with roundels at the corners. The windows are 19th-century four-pane sashes set within flush wood architraves. There is a band of three stepped courses at the first floor level. The house also has moulded stone kneelers, ashlar coping, and 19th-century tabled end stacks.
At the rear, there is a side-sliding sash window at the eaves, which has a relieving arch above a former window to its right. The wing features two-light, twelve-pane, side-sliding sashes. On the left side of the house, there is a two-light, twelve-pane, side-sliding sash window in the attic, along with a segmental header-brick relieving arch. On the right side, the house has two twelve-pane sashes, while the wing has two similar windows: a smaller one on the first floor to the right and a tiny eight-pane side-sliding sash on the first floor to the left.
