Description

Blind House is a 17th-century lock-up that has been converted into a bus shelter. It is constructed from coursed and squared rubble and features a pyramidal stone-tiled roof topped with a ball finial at the apex. The building is square in shape and has a door opening facing the roadside, which is framed by a segmental-pointed arch head and includes a wrought-iron gate. At the time of the last survey in May 1985, the studded plank door was missing.
