Swan House

Swan House is a house dating from the late 17th century, which was refronted and extended in the early and mid-19th century, and refronted again around 1900. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with a roughcast front and has a hipped concrete tile roof on the right side. The house features an early 19th-century brick stack at the left end and a ridge stack that was finished in mid-20th century brick.

The layout consists of a three-room plan, with a parlour on the left, a narrow central hall that has a stack backing onto the entrance passage, and a service end on the right. The building is two storeys high and has a four-window range. The entrance is marked by an early 19th-century pedimented doorcase supported by Tuscan columns, featuring a reeded frieze, panelled reveals, and a six-panelled door with an iron knocker.

To the left, there is a bay window from around 1900, which has horned sashes and bracketed eaves. The left side of the door and the first floor have 19th-century three-light casements with iron opening casements, while there is a mid-20th-century shop window on the right. The early 19th-century left rear wing has a slate roof, a rendered end stack, and two-light iron casements with leaded lights. Further back is a mid-19th-century workshop wing made of brick, featuring a gabled slate roof and 19th-century eight-pane casements. A late 20th-century right rear wing is rendered with a concrete tile roof.

Inside, the house retains original and 18th-century joinery, including panelled doors and a staircase. The ground floor has chamfered beams and two open fireplaces. Notably, the room on the left side of the ground floor has a well-preserved late 17th-century plaster ceiling, divided into twelve panels by quartered beams, with moulded cornicing in two central panels and ornamental centres in moulded roundels.
