Description

This property consists of a house, coach house, and retaining walls with railings, dating from the earlier to mid 19th century. The two-storey house features three bays and is constructed from whinstone rubble with printed, raised ashlar dressings. It has rusticated quoins, an eaves course, and a bracketed cornice. The central entrance has a pilastered and corniced doorpiece with a blocking course, leading to a deep-set door, and there is a window on the first floor. Each flanking bay has a window on both floors. The right return has a blank elevation, while the left return has a window roughly at the centre on each floor. The sash and case windows have plate glass glazing, and the house has overhanging eaves. The red sandstone ashlar wallhead stacks are offset and corniced, with some decorative cans still in place. The roof is covered with grey slates and has a piend design.

The coach house, which also serves as a stable, is a gabled range running parallel to the road at the rear of the house. It is built from rubble whinstone and has grey slates on the roof, with an asbestos section at the rear. The steeply pitched skews are ashlar coped, and there is a rooflight. A cast-of-arms, imported from elsewhere, is set in the gable.

The retaining walls and railings consist of rubble walls that are coped with rubble on the sides and rear. The lower walls feature ashlar coping and piers, and decorative iron railings line the roadside.
