Fairlands House And Attached Wall To Rear

Fairlands House is a house that likely dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the late 18th century and early 19th century, and a refenestration in the late 19th century. The building is roughcast with a pantile roof, except for a slate roof over a projecting wing, which is hipped and has a ridge at right angles to the front. There are four late 19th-century brick stacks capped with dressed stone, and a moulded cornice and parapet on the projecting wing.

The house has two storeys and features a 4:1 bay arrangement. The first floor has 2-light casements with marginal glazing bars in the left four bays, while the ground floor has similar French windows. In the right bay, there is a 16-pane sash window set in a moulded architrave on the first floor, and three-quarter glazed French windows with marginal glazing bars in a moulded stone surround on the ground floor. The door opening in the third bay has a 6-panelled door, with the top two panels glazed, and is topped by a triangular pediment on pilasters. This entrance is currently obscured by an early 19th-century wooden "trellis" porch with a hipped lead-sheeting roof.

At the rear, there is an early 19th-century two-storey cheese-room that has been converted into a kitchen. Inside, the house features a 19th-century staircase and window shutters. The room to the right on the ground floor has a fluted plaster cornice, two segmental-headed niches with wood-panelled reveals, and a mid-19th-century fireplace with a marble surround. Additionally, there is a rubble wall extending 62 metres to the rear, which bounds the leat of a former mill that existed on this site in the 17th and 18th centuries, although all traces of the mill building have now disappeared.
