Description
Kemplah House is a town house that has been converted into an aged persons' home. It was built in the early 19th century and features dressed sandstone with Welsh slate roofs, stone ridge and gable copings, and two stone stacks with cornice caps at the gables. The building has three storeys and four bays, with sash windows that include glazing bars, stone sills, and lintels with carved keys.
The doorway is located on the right-hand side in the fourth bay, set within a Doric portico that has a tented lead roof. It features a six-panelled door and rectangular spiked iron railings on either side. There is also a round-headed staircase window on the rear (south) elevation, on the left-hand side, which has intersecting glazing bars.
An extension known as No. 105 is attached to the east side of No. 107 and was built in the late 19th century using matching materials. This single-storey extension has a sash window with glazing bars on the top sash and a painted stone sill that continues as a band. The doorway on the right-hand side is framed by a pilaster-and-entablature surround with consoles, featuring panelled reveals, a four-panelled door, and a rectangular fanlight.
The listing also includes a mid-19th century extension on the west side of No. 107, which is two storeys high and constructed with matching materials. It has a tripartite bow window with sashes and glazing bars on the ground floor, and two sashes with glazing bars on the first floor, all dating from the late 19th century, with sills that continue as bands.
Additionally, early 19th century dressed sandstone gatepiers with pyramid caps are located on the west side of the extension, and there is an early 19th century stable adjoining the south side of the extension, built with matching materials and featuring a hipped roof, also two storeys high.
