Description

Ken House is a building probably dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of stucco and features rusticated quoins and a simple cornice beneath a modern stone parapet. The roof is covered with pantiles. The house has two storeys, a basement, and an attic, with three dormers on the front. There are five plain sash windows set within architraves. The central door opening is also framed by an architrave and topped with a bracketed pediment. A modern glazed door leads up steps to a moulded stone balcony that spans the three central bays, which is adorned with decorative iron railings. To the left, there is a modern single-storey wing, while to the right, there is a two-storey, mid-19th century, two-bay wing that is set back and features a central door and parapet. A lamp post made by the local iron firm of Singers stands to the left of the house. The interior has been gutted, but the ceiling cornices of the hall and flanking rooms are still visible on the ground floor.
