Fogorig

A house dating from circa 1870 with later additions and alterations. The building is asymmetrical, two storeys tall and three bays wide, with gabled ends and sparing Tudor details. The original structure was L-shaped with a two-storey wing at the rear, creating a Z-plan arrangement. A further single-storey wing with an attic was added to the northwest. The walls are constructed of coursed and tooled cream sandstone with sandstone ashlar dressings, droved quoins, and droved long and short surrounds to stop-chamfered openings. Sandstone mullions and projecting cills detail the fenestration.

The southeast (entrance) elevation features a projecting corniced flat-roofed porch at the centre with a timber panelled door and plate glass fanlight. A single recessed window occupies the first floor above. To the outer right, a flush gabled bay breaks the eaves, containing a four-light corniced canted window at ground level and a bipartite window at first-floor level aligned above. A blind shield is centred beneath a surmounting stack. To the outer left, a gabled bay is advanced with a four-light corniced canted window at ground and a bipartite window at first floor, with a blind opening beneath a surmounting sandstone finial.

The northeast (side) elevation shows the original wing to the outer left with single windows at both floors offset to the right of centre. The recessed three-bay wing to the right contains a narrow ground window in the leftmost bay; a gabled bay breaking the eaves at the centre holds a narrow ground window and a single first-floor window above; the subsequent bay to the right has a bipartite ground window and single first-floor window. A lower wing adjoins the outer right with a bipartite window at ground and single window above.

The southwest (side) elevation comprises a three-bay block to the right with a single ground window in the outer bay. A gabled bay breaking the eaves at the centre contains single windows at both floors. The leftmost bay has bipartite windows at both levels. The recessed two-storey wing to the left contains narrow windows at both floors in the rightmost bay and single windows at both floors in the leftmost bay. A projecting wing to the outer left displays a centred bipartite window at ground and a single window aligned above, with a lean-to porch in the re-entrant angle to the right.

Windows throughout feature plate glass with four-, ten-, twelve- and fifteen-pane glazing in timber sash and case frames, some with lying-panes and some with externally applied double glazing. Grey slate roofs feature raised stone skews and moulded skewputts. Corniced brick apex stacks with various circular cans provide ventilation. Rainwater goods are modern replacements.

The interior was not inspected in 1998.

Two ancillary structures stand to the west. The first is a single-storey rectangular outbuilding of ten bays, formerly a dairy in part. Constructed of sandstone rubble with tooled sandstone dressings, its northeast elevation contains a boarded timber door offset to the left of centre with single windows in flanking bays, a single window in the penultimate bay to the outer left, and a large window in the outer left bay. A boarded timber door offset to the right of centre is flanked by single windows, with a boarded timber door in the penultimate bay to the outer right and boarded timber garage doors in the outer right bay. Various small-pane timber windows and a small skylight provide additional light. The grey slate roof features raised skews and modern replacement rainwater goods. The interior was not inspected in 1998.

The second ancillary structure is a single-storey rectangular outbuilding of two bays serving as a stable. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with tooled sandstone dressings. The southeast elevation contains a boarded timber door offset to the right of centre at ground level with a small opening aligned beneath the apex. The northeast side elevation features widely-spaced bays with a single window in the outer left bay and a small single window in the outer right bay. Timber windows display six- and eight-pane glazing. The grey slate roof has raised stone skews and modern replacement rainwater goods. The interior was not inspected in 1998.

The site is enclosed by rubble-coped rubble walls with a near rectangular-plan walled garden to the north, which features a round-arched pedestrian entry set in the north side. Rubble-coped rubble boundary walls with splayed flanking entrance and timber gates enclose the wider site.
