Description

Hanover is a painted rubblestone house dating from the 18th century, featuring a natural slate roof. It has an L-shaped plan, with an attached barn made of unpainted rubble and a stone slate roof. The barn is in-line with the house and includes a possibly later wing that projects forward towards the road. The building is two storeys high and single depth.

The meeting room is accessed through the gable, which has a now-glazed door and a window beside it, both featuring arched heads and plain drips. The door is topped with a slated hood supported by brackets. Above this, there is a plain window in the gable. The street-facing elevation of the meeting room has a plain wall with a slate inscription reading 'Hanover D.R.M. 1744'. There are windows above and below in the projecting wing, which has a blind gable facing the road. The left side of this wing has a small window on each floor, along with another in the gable of the main range. The garden elevation features three small windows on each floor. All windows are modern plastic units but are mostly set in unaltered openings. A chimney stack is located on the gable between the house and the barn.

The attached barn has a lower roofline and is otherwise plain, with two modern windows on the road side and the main doors located at the rear. The interior details were not available during the resurvey.
