Canal House

Canal House is a symmetrical, two-storey building featuring a two-window main range with a central doorway, constructed from roughly coursed sandstone. To the north, there is a slightly set-back two-storey, one-window extension made of snecked masonry with stone dressings. The entire structure is topped with a slate roof that has brick end stacks, with yellow brick used for the main range and red brick for the extension. The openings are topped with segmental heads featuring voussoirs, and all windows are 12-pane horned sashes. The front door is glazed with small panes, and a continuous hoodmould extends over the front door and its adjacent windows, with similar hoodmoulds above the upper storey windows of the main range. Just below the eaves, there is a tablet with an inscription.

The south gable end is rendered, and there is an added flat-roofed single-storey extension on the south end that continues around the rear, featuring a 20th-century half-lit door at the front. Additionally, there is a small upper storey extension at the rear. The north gable end has masonry at the ground floor, which has been rebuilt in red brick at the upper level and includes a 20th-century window.

Access to the interior was not available at the time of inspection in August 1997.
