Description

Byrlton House is a building that was originally constructed before 1697 and remodeled around 1800. It has two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a rubble exterior on an ashlar base. The ground floor features a cill string, and the roof is covered with pantiles that have a crested ridge. There is a later ashlar chimney on the left with a moulded capping. The front has three cross-glazed former sash windows topped with mid-19th century gabled pediments. There are eight closely spaced windows with glazing bar sashes set in flush ashlar surrounds with beaded edges, some of which are blocked. The left-hand first-floor window is blind, situated above an ashlar wall projection that also has a blind window on the ground floor. The central entrance features a six-panel door with a marginally glazed overlight, framed by a simple architrave and topped with a flat hood supported by brackets, dating from the 1830s. At the rear, there is a central cross wing that houses the stairs. Inside, mid-19th century alterations include two small marble fireplaces on the first floor. The stairs above the first floor are believed to be late 17th century, and the attics are said to contain two original panelled oak doors.
