About Alston

Set within its own grounds, this attractive building is enlivened by features such as the timber bargeboards, quoins, date plaque and moulded headings to the window openings. The vertical form of the building is articulated by the projecting bay which adds interest to the façade.

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
