Description

This ancillary structure, built in 1883, is a two-storey, three-bay house designed in a Tudor style with an L-plan layout. It features predominantly squared and snecked bull-faced sandstone with ashlar dressings. A base course and a continuous hoodmould or string course separate the two storeys. The building includes canted bays, multiple gables, arrow slits, and decorative cast-iron detailing.

On the northern (principal) elevation, there is a central entrance with a two-leaf timber door topped by a large plate glass fanlight. An advanced corniced porch is supported by four large polygonal corniced cast-iron pillars, which have applied cast-iron initials 'AB' and 'CH'. Above the porch, a window features a segmental gablehead with the cast-iron date '1883'. To the left, an advanced bay has a tripartite window at the ground level, complete with a cornice and a decorative cast-iron frieze. Above this, there is a bipartite window with a gablehead that breaks the eaves. To the right, a gable features an advanced four-light canted bay on both the ground and first floors, with a corbelled section above that includes a blind arrow slit window.

The southern elevation has a single-storey service wing that runs parallel to the main house, connected by a short single-storey section at right angles.

The windows are predominantly timber sash and case with plate glass. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 2004.

To the north, there are very low rubble coped walls with missing railings, along with corner polygonal cast-iron piers that match those on the porch. Additionally, there is a short flight of garden steps bounded by ashlar with short piers to the north.
