BEN NEVIS - Physical Description 1
'Ben Nevis' is a large, detached, double-storey house with rendered walls and a slate roof. The verandah (front elevation) is enclosed within projecting walls and has cast iron lacework decoration on both levels. An old photograph of the building [1] shows that formerly the verandah extended at least around the left hand side of the building, if not around the entire house. The underlying brickwork is polychromatic. There are two symmetrically placed bay windows on the ground floor of the front elevation. There is a porch on the left hand side of the building which is a later addition. There have been some external renovations including some new windows, a new cast-iron fence, which retails the old gate and pillars and the rendering itself.
