Island House

Island House is a two-storey house with a basement, featuring a three-window range and a central entrance. The exterior is made of whitewashed rubble stone, topped with a pitched slate roof that has a tiled crest and red brick end stacks. The eaves are boxed, and the windows are small-paned sashes with marginal glazing bars, set in plain reveals with painted sills. The central bay has stone steps leading to a doorway with a four-panelled painted timber door and a narrow, traceried overlight, all set within an elliptical arched recess.

On the north gable, there are blocked openings beneath timber lintels, and a reset datestone inscribed "Job Brigstock 1798." The south gable features a curved bread oven, which is concealed by a lower whitewashed range that is single-storey and gable-fronted with a slate roof. To the left of the front gable end, there is a painted boarded timber door next to a 12-pane sash window, and a pair of similar sashes on the south side wall.

Although the interior has not been inspected, it is said to be well-preserved. A central hall leads to a timber staircase that boasts a finely-detailed Georgian handrail and carved tread ends that curve around a miniature stairwell. The ground floor room to the right has an elliptical arched recess and wall cupboards with marginal glazing bars on the open work doors. The remaining timberwork detailing is of good quality. There is a stone stair leading to a former cellar, which is now blocked. An upstairs window is engraved with "Brigstock was born 1782."
