Description
South Dene is an 18th-century farmhouse, now a private house, with alterations made in the 20th century. The exterior is of roughly cut and squared Cary stone, with a Welsh slate roof between coped gables. The building has brick end and intermediate chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and originally comprised five bays, although the first bay may have been an outhouse with a lower floor level. The windows are four-light casement windows with concrete lintels, replacing leaded lights that were noted in the original 1961 listing. The windows have panelled shutters inside. A central six-panelled door is set within a painted stone architrave with a pediment hood supported by console brackets. The interior was not viewed during the listing process.
Approximately three metres in front of the house is a low stone boundary wall rising to a height of one metre, topped with spear-pointed railings supported by braced standards with urn finials. A matching cast-iron central gate is also present. The stone boundary wall curves at each end of the house, contributing to the building's setting and the surrounding streetscape.
