Description

Heathbank is a two-storey, T-plan house built around 1878, designed for quarry workers. It features a symmetrical façade facing south towards the River Dee, with a central doorway flanked by windows. The outer bays have pedimented wallhead dormers. At the rear, there are late 19th century and early 20th century single-storey extensions with monopitch roofs. The building is constructed from stugged, squared, and coursed granite.

The windows are four-pane sash and case timber, and the entrance includes a two-leaf, four-panel timber door with a simple rectangular two-pane fanlight above. The roof is grey slated with terracotta ridge tiles, and the granite skews are tooled. The chimney stacks are made of stugged, squared granite with a simple cornice and octagonal clay cans. The property also has cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not accessible during the survey in 2006.

The boundary walls, gatepiers, and railings are made of stugged, squared, and snecked granite with bull-faced coping. The gate piers are square and tooled, featuring narrow ashlar margins and bull-faced capitals. There is a wrought-iron gate and railings.
