Description

This is a late 18th-century house, with earlier fabric incorporated and alterations, particularly in the later 19th century, alongside a later extension. It comprises a two-storey and attic main block with a basement, and a single-storey and attic extension to the west (originally single-storey). The main block displays a simplified classical design, and both blocks have crowstepped gables.

The house is constructed of coursed dressed, partially droved sandstone rubble, with the rear (south) elevation harled. It has sandstone ashlar dressings, an eaves band aligning with the first-floor cills, and architraved windows on the principal (north) and east elevations of the main block.

The north elevation features a central entrance to the main block with a 20th-century pilastered and pedimented timber architrave and a panelled timber door. Above the door is a window, flanked by ground and first-floor windows, with vertical margins to either side. The extension is set back slightly to the right. To the left of the extension is an entrance with a corniced architrave and a replacement two-leaf panelled timber door with a rectangular fanlight, alongside a ground-floor window and a small attic window; an architraved stair window is centrally positioned above. There is a gabled dormer with an architrave to each outer bay.

The south elevation has a central architraved entrance with a late 20th-century glazed door. Above it is a first-floor and attic window, flanked by windows on each floor. The left-hand ground and first-floor windows are later canted, while the ground-floor window to the right has had narrow flanking lights inserted. Later piended windows are present in the attic, with the outer bays being polygonal. The extension to the left has been extended on this side, featuring two windows on each floor, all except the leftmost ground-floor window being canted.

The east elevation has steps leading down to an architraved entrance in the centre of the basement. There are two small windows to the left of the ground floor, a central first-floor window, and a small attic window to the left.

The windows are predominantly timber sash and case windows with two panes. The roofs are covered in grey slate, with beaked skewputts where the gables are crowstepped. Rendered gablehead stacks are present with band courses on either side of the main block (east and west), a corniced gablehead stack to the west of the extension, and round cans atop the stacks.

The interior retains an early turnpike staircase with moulded risers connecting the basement and ground floor.
