Place & story

Doorcase, shutters and a stone outbuilding

A detached house in Longwood, dated by the architectural inventory to about 1860, preserves a moulded timber entrance with a round arch and projecting support brackets. Timber sash windows and internal panelled shutters also survived when surveyed. Smooth render below contrasts with a rougher finish upstairs, divided by a horizontal course. A two-storey stone outbuilding stands behind the house, extending the group beyond its carefully finished frontage. [2]
