NHER 42765 (Building record) - The Garth, Wells Road, Overy Staithe

House. Façade of gault brick of two storeys, thee bays, with additional single storey one bay wings. Central door with arched fanlight; to each side a giant blank arch containing a sash window. First floor has three sash windows. Single windows to wings. Pilaster strips at ends of facades, and on the wings, with recessed full height panels. Slate roof, end stacks. (S1) notes that what it calls the "returns" - meaning the end walls - are of red brick but in fact all of the building except the façade and the tops of the chimneys are of this material, with crude horizontal skintlings. Building is asymmetrical in cross section, being formed like a catslide to the rear. Outbuilding to northeast is mostly of 20th century brickwork but its west wall is of clunch.
