Description
St Michael's House is a small country house built around 1850 in the style of Walter Newall. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure with a two-storey rear wing that was extended in the second half of the 19th century. The house is constructed from whin rubble with contrasting red ashlar dressings, featuring chamfered margins and projecting cills.
On the south elevation, there is a deeply recessed central panelled door with a fanlight above it, topped by a pediment supported on consoles adorned with anthemion ornament. To the left, there is a late 19th-century projecting ground floor window, while the other ground floor windows are all fitted with a deep cavetto cornice. The sash windows have an 8-pane glazing pattern. The building has projecting eaves, short axial stacks, and a piended, slated U-plan roof that surrounds a central cupola. The two-bay flanks include an east-facing door located behind a lean-to conservatory, which may be contemporary with the rear wing. The rear wing extends from the west end of the north wall and features a porch on the east side.
Inside, the house has a cupola over the central stair hall, and the ground floor southeast room contains shouldered-arched recesses and a screen, which is likely contemporary with the conservatory.
