House. Mid C18, with later addition to rear. Coursed squared sandstone,
slate roof. Single-depth 3-unit plan. Three storeys over cellars, 3 bays,
in Classical style; sill bands at ground and 1st floors; symmetrical with
strikingly elaborate centre (for so small a house): 2 semicircular steps to a
doorway with panelled double doors, a Gibbs surround incorporated in a
moulded architrave with scrolled jambs and dentilled pediment, and,
superimposed above this, a Venetian and a Diocletian window, both with
keystones and glazing bars; the outer bays now have top-hung casements with
glazing bars (imitating sashes), all with raised plain surrounds, and the
topmost windows square. A 3-pane cellar window to the right of the doorway.
(Later addition to rear is not of special interest).
Interior: central stone staircase between 2 principal rooms, both of which
have large spine beams, that on the left stop-chamfered and carrying joists
with similar decoration; in the right-hand room, a rectangular stone
fireplace and remains of a bread oven.
