House, probably for agricultural labourer, including
outbuilding adjoining at W end. Early C19.
MATERIALS: Local slatestone rubble with some brick dressings;
natural slate roof laid in diminishing courses; stacks with
rendered shafts. Outbuilding with corrugated-asbestos roof.
PLAN: L-plan house, the main block south-facing, 2-rooms-wide
with a cross passage entrance, the rooms heated from end
stacks; rear left wing at right-angles. The house was divided
into 2 cottages at one time with a 2nd front door added.
Outbuilding adjoining at W end may have been a stable.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Roof gabled at left end, hipped at right
end and at end of wing: deep eaves. Right end stack projects.
Asymmetrical 3-window front with plank front door to the
passage with a porch hood on brackets. Secondary door
alongside to the left. 2 ground and 3 first-floor casement
windows with segmental-arched brick voussoirs: similar
voussoirs to all other windows. Casements are an unusual
survival: cast-iron with small panes: 3-light to the ground
floor, 2-light to the first.
The elevation overlooking the road has a blocked door to the
right of the main block and one ground and 2 first-floor
windows - all cast-iron casements except the ground floor
window which has been reglazed with C20 leaded panes. End of
wing blind. The right return of the wing also has 2 cast-iron
small-pane casements: one window on end of main block reglazed
with a casement with C20 leaded panes.
The outbuilding, a former barn, has a small doorway on the
south side, window alongside and a loft loading door above.
INTERIOR: Main block fireplaces have red sandstone jambs and
lintels. Pretty pink and grey local limestone flags to part of
the ground floor.
