Description

Dunfield House is a country house that has been converted into a conference centre. It dates from the late 19th century but incorporates elements from a late 17th-century house. The building is constructed of coursed and squared sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, featuring both Welsh slate and stone slate roofs. It has an irregular plan with the main range oriented east to west and facing south. The central entrance is flanked by projecting cross-wings and there are several decorative axial stacks.

The house is two storeys high, with attics and cellars. The south front features string courses that continue over the windows as labels, along with decorative bargeboards on the gables. The elevation is asymmetrical, with a series of bays arranged in a 1:1:1:1:1:1 pattern, each containing single vertical glazing bar sash windows. The cross-wings have projecting canted gable ends, and the entrance is located in the second and fifth bays, with a lean-to single-storey porch immediately to the left of the projecting wing on the right. This porch has a shouldered head to the outer doorway and flanking lights, leading to an inner four-panelled door.

Inside, the house retains a mutilated late 17th-century staircase with turned balusters and square newels, as well as fragments of 15th-century glass in the staircase window.
