Description
Union House is a former tavern, now a private dwelling, built around 1840. The building is rendered and painted, featuring a Welsh slate roof, a rendered end stack on the left, and a rebuilt brick end stack and gable end on the right. It stands three storeys high and has three bays. The ground floor retains elements of its public-house frontage, which includes two pairs of attached fluted Roman Doric columns on square plinths that support a continuous entablature. The mid to late 20th-century fixed windows are paired with central double three-panelled doors beneath a rectangular fanlight, all set within panelled reveals. The upper-floor windows are sash windows with glazing bars, framed by architraves and plain sills that extend as bands. The left-hand angle features chamfered rusticated quoins.
