Description

The Cedars is a villa dating to circa 1895. It is a two-storey building with a cellar, and comprises three bays. The construction is of squared red sandstone rubble with contrasting ashlar dressings and rusticated quoins, set upon a deep rock-faced base course. The design features pilaster mullions and stylised keystones to the arcaded, round-headed openings. The openings on the Southeast elevation are heavily corniced.

The Southeast (principal) elevation is symmetrical, with steps leading to a pilastered porch featuring a moulded, round-arched doorway and a modern door. A bowed four-light window is located in the bay to the left, and a slightly advanced bipartite window is on the right. The first floor has a bipartite window to the centre, flanked by tripartites in the outer bays. All first-floor openings have decorative cast-iron cresting to their heavy cornices, which break the eaves.

The Northeast elevation presents a variety of elements, showing asymmetrical fenestration. This includes a blank gabled bay to the left, with crested windows breaking eaves on its return to the right, and a set-back bay to the right, featuring coloured glass.

The Southwest elevation has two recessed bays in the centre, containing a window to the left and a flat-roofed extension to the right at ground level. Two coloured glass windows break the eaves above; flanking projecting gables are asymmetrically fenestrated with a further coloured glass window on the return to the right gable.

The Northwest (rear) elevation has a broad gabled bay, approximately at the centre, with a door and window at ground level, and two windows on the first floor; another ground floor window is situated in the bay to the right.

The windows are timber sash and case, with four-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. Round-headed casement windows have plate glass glazing. Some windows have leaded coloured glazing, as noted above. The roof is covered in grey slates, with coped ashlar stacks topped with cans. The eaves overhang.

The interior retains a good decorative scheme, including moulded plasterwork cornices, timber shutters, brass sash lifts, and a timber-balustered staircase. Later, possibly late 19th century, coloured glass has been added to some first-floor windows. There is an Art Deco-detailed bathroom featuring fittings and ceramic tiles.

Low saddleback-coped boundary walls incorporate decorative cast-iron railings, and semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls are also present.
