Description

The Manager's House and Office of the former iron works, built around 1830 for Spencers' Iron Works, is a single-storey, three-bay house with an adjoining low two-storey, two-bay office that is set back slightly. Constructed from sandstone and rubble with ashlar dressings, quoins, and a plinth, it features a Welsh slate roof with brick chimneys. The house has a central boarded door with a large overlight beneath a flat stone lintel. To the left, the office door is located in a later wood and glass porch. The house has wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills for a plain sash window on the left and a renewed window on the right end. There is a flat stone lintel over an inserted storage door on the right side of the house and over an upper window in the office. The low-pitched hipped roof has wide eaves and chimneys on the left and at the rear. The left side facing the river features a segmental arch and a projecting stone sill for a tripartite sash window with glazing bars, while a similar window at the rear lacks glazing bars.
