Description
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1850, with single-storey canted bay window to east elevation. Shallow hipped natural slate roof having single central rendered chimneystack running perpendicular to roof ridge and cast-iron rainwater goods. Coursed rubble limestone walls, now ivy-clad, with smooth rendered finish to canted bay. Square-headed window openings with plain ashlar limestone surrounds having cut stone sills with six-over-three pane timber sliding sash windows to ground floor openings and six-over-six-pane timber sliding sash windows over to first floor openings. Two-over-two pane timber sash windows to canted bay. Central square-headed doorcase with plain ashlar limestone surround having glazed timber door with overlight above having vertical glazing bars. Set back from the road adjacent to rural crossroad junction. Rubble limestone boundary wall to the north with rendered coping and gate piers on square-plan having wrought-iron gate.
Appraisal
A highly appealing, well-proportioned, if modest, mid-to-late nineteenth-century house, which retains its early character and fabric. The canted bay projection to the east is probably a later addition but adds to the overall character. The rubble limestone boundary walls, the simple traditional wrought-iron bar gate and the mature gardens add to this unassuming composition and complete the setting.
