Description
Castle, a house from the 18th century that incorporates earlier work and has 19th-century additions. It features a rendered exterior with a slate roof, decorated bargeboards, and a finial on the gable, along with brick stacks. The building has a "T"-plan with a cross gable on the main facade and is two and a half to three storeys high, with three bays on one side and one bay on the other. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, and there is a tripartite segmental-headed window on the ground floor to the right. A French window opens onto a balcony of the porch, which has a late 19th-century design with paired pilasters, a frieze, and cast iron railings above. The glazed door to the porch is now blocked, located in the center left. The entrance is on the left return elevation through a 20th-century conservatory. A wooden bell-cote with a weather-vane is situated on the roof ridge to the left. The interior has not been seen but is reputed to contain a pointed arch stone doorframe with chamfered moulding and an 18th-century staircase.
