Description

Swinton House is a building that has been converted into a club. It dates from the early to mid-18th century, with 19th-century additions at the rear. The structure is made of coursed, dressed sandstone and has a Welsh slate roof. It stands two storeys high with a five-bay front and a triple wing at the rear that projects beyond the left side. The entrance is located on the right side of the building.

The façade features large projecting quoins and a plinth, with most of the lower wall rendered and showing irregularly-ruled joints. The central doorway has been walled up, and its original surround has been removed below mid-height. It features an architrave with a tripartite keyblock and acanthus-carved consoles supporting a broken segmental pediment. The flanking windows are unequal 15-pane sashes set in squared-faced surrounds with moulded sills, and there is a ventilator inserted in the upper part of the first bay window.

A band runs along the building, and the first-floor sashes have glazing bars with surrounds similar to those on the ground floor. The central window is highlighted by a decorative apron panel, sill blocks, a shouldered and eared architrave, and a cornice, although the cornice is now cemented over. A moulded cornice forms the gutter and projects forward over the central bay and at each end. The gables are coped, and there are renewed brick stacks at the ends. On the left side, there is an attached wing with a 19th-century garden front that features a curved single-storey bay window on the right.
