  2. 02

    The 1940s garage built across the front, and the door to the house hidden inside it.

    National Inventory of Architectural Heritage

Built around 1820 as a prison. Four bays, two storeys. It is a house now.

The appraisal, verbatim: "Although this building has been considerably altered there are surviving features which stand as evidence of its former use as a jail, such as the cast-iron bars to the lunette windows."

National Inventory of Architectural Heritage

Vaulted ceilings and a stone staircase survive inside — in a private home, so they are not on view.
