II

House, late C18/early C19 and mid C19 with C20 additions, constructed of hammer dressed stone with pitched stone slate roofs. Semi-detached, two storey, with a separate dwelling to the right formerly part of the same house. Plan: to the right, two bays of different builds with a narrow second pile to the rear, and to the left, a single deep bay. A two storey former outbuilding is joined to the house at the rear by a C20 infill, and there is a single storey C20 extension to the left.

Front elevation: Central doorway with early C20 ashlar portico, flanked by 4-light stone mullioned windows with C20 casements, repeated on first floor. To the left, a further bay of greater height with two storey canted bay having 5 lights with stone mullions. To the left again, a single storey late C20 extension with double pitch roof and entrance in the gable end at the far side.

Rear elevation: two storey former outbuilding, possibly coach house with accommodation above, now with C20 windows, joined to the main house a by single storey infill with entrance door, above which is a glass-sided corridor between the two buildings. To the left, a small two-storey extension with a pyramidal roof has a 2-light mullioned window at first floor.

Interior: front door opens directly into the right hand room, which links to the corridor behind and the central of the three front rooms. Low ceiling, and narrow dentilated cornice, chimney breast but no fireplace. The central room is similar. A corridor runs behind these rooms, and has a similar cornice, and decorative archways to rooms. Service rooms are to the right. To the left is a large room with high ceiling, highly decorative cornice, deep skirtings, chimney breast to side, canted bay window, and central arched alcove on back wall, all in high Victorian style. Doors throughout are 6-panelled with raised and fielded panels, some having good brass furniture. The dogleg staircase has turned wooden balusters and an ornate carved newel. There is a large rectangular stained glass stair window with geometric and floral designs, and another smaller one on the top landing. First floor rooms parallel those below. Ground floor corridor also leads to the kitchen in the former outbuilding, through a rear entrance hall. On the first floor is a glass panelled late C20 passage to the former outbuilding, now bedrooms, one of which has a surviving C19 cast iron fireplace.

C20 extension not inspected.

History: said to be a former mill-owner's house. The two bays with mullioned windows are of separate builds, and may have started life as two single cell cottages, later incorporated into a single dwelling. The rear corridor, which has a lower roof than the front, was the next addition. These parts of the house date to the late C18 or early C19. The wing with canted bay windows is later C19, as is the staircase and much of the decorative detail. The date of the attached house is unclear and it has undergone more alteration, but was in existence before the end of the C19 and was in separate ownership by the early C20.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE This house was listed in 1983 with a description referring only to the older part of the house. Interior inspection has revealed further features of interest, and there is now a greater appreciation of the later nineteenth century elements of the building. The house combines vernacular features and Victorian villa elements, thereby reflecting the development and increasing prosperity of this former mill town.
