Description
Quaintways is a two-storey building with an attached garden wall, featuring local rubblestone walls that are whitewashed and cemented at the front. The roof is made of Welsh slate, with a central brick and stone stack at the north end of the higher gable and a smaller stone stack at the north gable of the house in front of the ridge to the south. The older south part of the house has a slightly higher ridge line and a steeper pitch.
On the street elevation, the south part has two small late 20th-century 2-light fixed windows on the ground floor and two small 2-light casements on the first floor, with their heads at eaves level. At the south end, there are steps leading to a modern boarded door. The north section is double fronted, featuring a central gabled porch, a casement window on either side, and paired top-hung windows above, with a blind window to the right. The rear elevation has been modernised, and all features date from the late 20th century.
The front garden is enclosed by rubblestone walls with coping, and there are stone gate piers with pyramidal coping. The interior was not available for resurvey, and the description is based on existing records. The south wing contains two ground floor rooms separated by an internal stone partition wall; the northern room has roughly chamfered joists oriented on a north-south axis, while the southern room also has roughly chamfered joists and features a fireplace in the south wall with a bressumer.
