Quaperlake House

Quaperlake House is a house situated in a row, dating back to the 17th century with modifications on earlier foundations. It is constructed from local stone rubble, originally rendered, with diamond concrete slates to the main block and stone slates elsewhere. The house has a distinctive 'L' shape, comprising two storeys with an attic, and originally four bays, with a three-bay extension added later. The front features four-pane sash windows in simple openings, with exposed timber lintels to the ground floor. A 20th-century door is located to the right of the fourth bay, set within an ovolo-mould frame and protected by a wide, pedimented timber hood supported by ornate console brackets decorated with acanthus leaves. The extension has six-pane sash windows, two below and one centrally above. An open segmental arch with a fanlight gives access to a barton, and tall boarded gates provide entry.

Inside, a diverse range of period features are present, including an 18th-century panelled room with a single two-panel door and a six-panel door. A Regency-period room is also present, complete with contemporary window shutters in both rooms. Remnants of older windows are visible in the rear wall, and the attic retains 17th-century boarded doors and plank partitions.

A rear wing, possibly dating to the 17th century, has collar tie roof trusses supporting plain clay tiles over stone base courses and was later converted into garages. Several 17th-century oak-framed, two-light windows remain, particularly in the west wall. A curious brick and flint rusticated gateway marks the north-west corner.
