Place & story

Prospect House

Prospect House on Stocking Lane dates from around 1820. Its main front is rendered, while the side and rear walls are hung with slate. Steps lead to a panelled entrance door, flanked by sidelights beneath a broad fanlight. The architectural inventory records sash windows, a hipped roof with two central chimney stacks, and a rear addition. A gateway and small lodge complete the recorded approach. [2]
