Old Graden

The building is a later 19th-century house, with substantial additions and alterations likely made in the early 20th century. It is an asymmetrical, two-storey, four-bay house of irregular plan, exhibiting details of Cotswold and Shavian styles. A single-storey porch is recessed to the right of the main entrance. The walls are dry-dashed, with cream sandstone ashlar dressings; architraved surrounds to the openings, chamfered cills, sandstone mullions, and transoms.

The southeast elevation (the entrance front) features a ball-finialed, square-plan tower in the re-entrant angle, offset to the left of the center. A two-leaf timber-panelled door is at ground level, with a plate glass fanlight above, and a single window above that. A gabled bay is slightly advanced to the outer left, featuring a five-light window at ground level and two three-light windows above. A single window is offset to the right of the center, above which is a gableheaded window that breaks the eaves. A subsequent bay to the right showcases bowed, seven-light windows on both floors, topped by a ball finial on a semi-conical roof. A part-glazed timber door sits within a recessed, single-storey porch to the outer right.

The southwest elevation (side) is three bays wide, with a single-bay addition to the outer left. The main block has French doors centered on the ground floor, with a single window above. Flanking bays boast seven-light bowed windows on both floors, each with a ball finial on a semi-conical roof. A three-light window is situated in the single-storey addition to the outer left.

The rear (northwest) elevation was not visible in 1997.

The northeast elevation (side) presents single windows in both bays at ground level. A two-storey wing to the right has single windows at both floors, offset to the left of the center. A projecting, single-storey porch is offset to the right, with a single window on the first floor.

Replacement timber casement glazing is largely used throughout. Leaded glazing is present in the three- and five-light windows, while some eight-pane glazing is found in timber sash and case windows to the sides. The roof is covered in grey slate, with coped apex stacks and various circular cans.

The interior was not inspected in 1997.

To the north of the house sits a rectangular-plan, two-storey outbuilding with single-storey flanking wings. The outbuilding is dry-dashed, with sections exposing whinstone rubble, and projecting cills. The south elevation has a two-storey block with irregularly spaced single windows at both floors, offset to the left of the center, and a single window at ground level in the bay to the outer right. An exterior stair leads to a part-glazed timber door that breaks through the eaves. The north elevation (rear) features part-glazed, folding/sliding timber garage doors in a lean-to projection adjoining the central block. The windows are a mix of six- and eight-pane timber glazing. A pyramidal-capped ridge ventilator and an apex stack (missing cans) are present on the roof. The interior was not inspected in 1997.

A single-storey summerhouse has part-glazed timber doors and a red tile piended roof with tapering finials. Its interior was not inspected in 1997.

The site is enclosed by a rubble-coped rubble wall to the southeast, with coped red brick walls to the west and southwest, which step down with the slope. Square-plan, coursed, and tooled sandstone gate piers with pyramidal caps and decorative iron gates flank the main entrance. Square-plan piers with timber gates mark the rear entrance.
