Description

The house attached to the east gable of South Barrow Methodist Chapel dates from the early 19th century. It is constructed of local grey lias stone that is cut and squared, with a brick west gable. The roof is covered with double Roman clay tiles and features plain gables, along with brick chimney stacks at each end. The building has three storeys and consists of two bays.

At the base, there is a plinth, with 16-pane sash windows on the ground and first floors, and small-pane, two-light casements on the second floor. Between the bays, there is a panelled door topped with a rectangular light. All openings have thin lias stone lintels. Above the door, there is a plaque that appears to bear the date 1860; however, the house must have been built before the Methodist Chapel, which was completed in 1857, suggesting that the house may have been refronted later. There is also a later lean-to extension at the rear. The interior has not been seen.
