18/125 Temple Sowerby House
6.2.68
G.V. II

House, now hotel, of 2 main periods with 'U'-shaped plan. Earlier part to rear,
dated 1727, has pebble-dashed front with plinth, quoins, and 1st floor band.
Graduated slate roof with brick end chimneys. 2-storey, 2-bay front has 2 stone
mullioned 3-light windows and a fire window to ground floor; 2 later sashes
above have glazing bars and stone surrounds. Range linking this part of
building to later house incorporates original cross-passage door with dated
lintel. Main house is late C18/early C19. Flemish bond brickwork with
rusticated quoins; plinth and eaves are both of moulded stone. Welsh slate roof
has stone copings and corniced end chimneys. Symmetrical 2-storey, 5-bay front
has central panelled door in pedimented stone architrave, now inside C20 gabled
brick porch. 2 sashes to either side and 5 above, all with glazing bars in
stone architraves. During the C19 a single-storey canted bay window in brick
was added at south end, and a 2 storey coach-house in ashlar at the north end.
Internally, extensive repairs and renovation have restored much of the original
appearance of the interior.
