House. Circa 1830s with minor C20 alterations. Stone rubble clad in whitewashed slate hanging; the ground storey of the front is stuccoed. Bitumen-coated low-pitched hipped slate roof with paved brackets to deep eaves soffit; and with moulded cast-iron gutters with lion head marks to the joints; the roof is a single span across the front and at right angles at the rear 2 parallel spaces. 2 rendered axial chimney stacks with octagonal moulded chimney pots, the left hand pots have been removed. Plan: Double depth almost square plan with 2 principal front rooms and a wide central entrance hall the full depth of the house with stairs at the rear; small service rooms behind the right hand room; and probably the kitchen behind the left hand, room with a narrow service wing with outhouses projecting at the rear of the kitchen. In early C20 a small single storey wing was added to the right side, and a bay window added to the left side enlarging the front left room. Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 2:1:2 bays, the outer windows closer spaced. First floor: 5 original 12-pane sashes. The ground floor: 4 tall French casements with glazing bars and top lights. Central doorway with original 6-panel door flanked by thin wooden pilasters and side lights panelled below, and with a wide rectangular fanlight over with diagonally crossed glazing bars. Across the whole ground storey a verandah with felt- clad tented roof supported on 6 thin iron posts, around each post wooden trellis spiral. The left hand return has 3 first floor 12-pane sashes and a C20 single storey wing against the ground storey. The rear elevation has an asymmetrical arrangement of 12-pane sashes and a larger 15-pane stair sash to left of centre. The narrow service wing to right has a lower roof level, sash window and a plank door to the outhouse. Interior: The original plan is intact and much of the internal joinery survives including moulded plaster ceiling cornices but the chimneypieces in the 2 front rooms have been replaced with C20 Adam style chimneypieces and the original stairs have been replaced by a C20 one with a Chippendale type of balustrade with square newels. The first floor was not inspected.
