Description
Ross Arden is an earlier 19th century single-storey farmhouse designed in a narrow U-plan. The building features painted rubble with painted ashlar margins and dressings, and has pointed arched windows. The eaves are advanced, showcasing exposed rafters.
On the west (main) elevation, there is a centrally located door that is a two-leaf boarded design with a Y-tracery pointed arch fanlight above it. The flanking windows are symmetrically arranged on either side.
The south elevation has a pointed arch door at the center, with a broad two-bay gabled wing that is advanced to the outer right and a narrow single bay gable that is advanced to the outer left.
Modern uPVC sash and case windows have been installed, featuring trickle vents and Y-traceried heads. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes lead flashings, squat chimney stacks with cement coping, and circular cans.
