Description

This is a late 18th-century house with significant additions from the late 19th century. It is constructed of squared sandstone, partially rendered, with limestone dressings, and has Welsh slate and concrete tiled roofs, along with brick stacks. The building is roughly rectangular and aligned north-north-east/south-south-west. It features 19th-century cross-wings at each end and a formal garden front to the east. The house has two storeys and an attic.

The east elevation has a 2:5:2 window arrangement. A large mullioned window, divided into casements, is located on the left gable, with multi-paned sash windows in the centre and two casements of two lights each on the right gable. Gable fronts have ground floor bay windows with mullions and transoms, each with four lights, and quoins to their corners. Pediments, shaped like open triangles, crown the gables; the right gable's pediment contains an oculus. A porch, featuring Tuscan Doric columns, a frieze, and a cornice, stands in the centre, with a fanlight above a six-panelled door. A late 19th-century two-storey wing is attached to the south-west corner, with the upper floor originally serving as a billiard room.

Inside, a late 18th- to early 19th-century cantilevered staircase has stick balusters and a mahogany handrail that curves to an oval balustered gallery beneath an enriched plaster ceiling on the first floor. Several six-panelled mahogany doors are found on the ground floor. The main north-east ground floor room has a late 19th-century fireplace with twin Ionic pilasters, an egg-and-dart cornice, and swags. The billiard room retains braced collar trusses and an original scoreboard.
