Description
This is a house of simple classical style, built in the late 1830s, with later additions to the north and south mirroring the original design. It is now a long building range oriented north-south. The house is constructed from roughcast rubblestone and brick, with slate roofs hipped throughout, except for the gable-ended roof of the northern addition, which also has rooflights. Roughcast chimney stacks are located on the ridge, side, and end walls.
The original block forms the central section. Its original east-facing front has a hip-roofed projection to the right, featuring a half-glazed door within a stone surround topped by a Doric entablature. Horned sash windows are above the door and to the left of the main range, which also has a further half-glazed door. The northern section similarly has a hip-roofed projection to the right with horned sash windows above a shallow, flat-roofed porch. A slate-roofed, full-height glazed conservatory, linked to the right bay of the original part by a low plinth, gives the appearance of two largely symmetrical, contemporary, hipped-roofed projections linked at ground floor, although these belong to different periods.
The west elevation displays the original building centrally, featuring a pair of hip-roofed projections onto a small stone terrace. A slightly higher and set-back projection is to the right. Multi-paned French windows are present in the right part of the paired projection, and a large tripartite, 48-paned, horned sash window is on the left. Horned sash and casement windows are located on the first floor of all projections; a 16-paned horned sash sits directly below the eaves to the left of the paired projection. The northern addition has a prominent two-storey canted bay projection to the left with 16-paned sashes on the first floor and 24-paned sashes to the ground floor of each splay, all horned. The section to the right of this projection has paired 16-paned horned sashes on the first floor and a wide, multi-paned French window symmetrically placed below. The southern extension projects from the central portion and features two widely-spaced 12-paned horned sashes on each floor, along with smaller 4-paned windows, also symmetrically placed, on each floor to the left. A former cottage attached to the end wall of the southern portion has a sash window with Gothic glazing bars.
A survey in February 1999 was unable to fully inspect the interior, but the former cottage attached to the southern end wall contains a slate slab surround to a large fireplace, incorporating an overmantel and a cast-iron range.
