Description

Wisteria is a house dating from the early 19th century, although its core may be older. It features a roughcast exterior and a slate roof with a brick chimney. The building has two storeys and two bays, with 12-pane sash windows on the first floor. There is a pilaster on the left side and a single 16-pane sash window on the ground floor. The door opening is on the right, featuring a 6-panelled door set in a recess, with the top panels glazed. To the right, there is a lower outshut with a coped verge and a triple Roman tile roof, which has a 24-pane casement window on the left and a 16-pane casement window on the right. There is an additional outshut to the right with a pantile roof and no window openings. The forecourt is enclosed by cast and wrought iron railings set on a rubble plinth, with paired central gates that match the style and feature palmette decoration. To the right, there is a further section of rubble wall with rubble coping.
