Building record MDR13621 - Hartington House, 57 Risley Lane, Breaston

A house built in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, incorporating the remains of a Georgian farmhouse. The house is rendered beneath a hipped plain tile roof. The front elevation is two storeys tall. The first floor features three tall window openings with segmental heads; the windows are modern. The ground floor is concealed by a verandah with a hipped slate roof. To the right, the remains of the farmhouse are built of painted brick, partly rendered, beneath a gabled plain tile roof. This building may possess some special historic interest due to its close historic association with George Perks JP (1865-1947), a builder, who lived here from 1910. (1)
