The Darren

The Darren is a one-and-a-half storey house dating from the 19th century, featuring three windows on the main facade. To the left, there is a later addition marked by a butt joint. The house has a lower gabled stair turret at the back and an integral lower wing with a granary positioned forward on the right. The structure is built of rubble stone, with openings beneath wooden lintels, and has a recently renewed slate roof.

The main house includes 19th-century stone stacks to the left of the centre and at the left end, while the wing has an added brick stack at the end. The main house features half-dormers with sash windows, and the lower storey has similar windows, with the central window offset to the right of centre and a boarded door offset to the left of centre. The wing has a window facing the front that is now boarded up.

At the back, the stair turret contains a two-light casement window in an earlier opening. To the left, there is an added flat-roofed dormer with a two-light casement window, which was roofless at the time of inspection. The right gable end of the house has a sash window in the attic, a two-light casement window lower down on the right, and a boarded door lower on the left. To the left of this door, the side wall of the wing has external stone steps with brick risers leading to a granary doorway, which is now boarded up, along with a boarded loft opening to the right.

The property was not inspected at the time of the survey in January 1998.
