Description

Windsor House is a late 18th-century building that currently serves as offices. It is constructed of brick and features Welsh slate and plain tiled roofs. The main section of the house is three storeys high and has five windows, with a central door framed by an Ionic case that includes fluted pilasters. The windows are flush-framed 12-pane sash types, topped with flat-arched gauged brick heads that have stressed brick keys. The building has a parapet with a narrow stone cornice and curved coped gable walls. To the left, there is a separate and later addition that has a long front wall with a single 12-pane sash window on each floor and a curved gable end featuring 12-pane sashes with flat-arched stuccoed heads.

Inside, the house retains an almost complete late 18th-century interior. It features a central staircase with alternately turned and twisted balusters, a swept moulded rail, carved tread ends, and dado panelling. The principal rooms are all fully panelled, with one lower room showcasing Corinthian pilasters and ornate panelling over doors, along with marble fireplaces in the upper rooms. The upper right-hand room is also panelled with Corinthian pilasters and has a heavy cornice, which is enriched with marquetry and is said to be made of wych-elm.
