Description
Finndale House is a house dating from the early 19th century, with 20th-century additions and alterations. It is constructed of yellow brick in Flemish bond with a slate roof, and features colourwashed and tile-faced brick with a pantile roof. The building has two storeys and an L-shaped plan.
The entrance front has five bays that are symmetrically arranged. On the first floor, there are five windows with three sets of four panes, which have cambered heads. The central window is slightly recessed and features a cambered relieving arch. Below the plain parapet, which has an ashlar coping, there is a band of three bricks in depth. The ground floor has a central doorway with six panels, where the lower two are flush and the upper four are glazed. There are strip lights on either side of the door with glazing arranged in a row of circles, and a segmental fanlight with decorative tracery above. The door is accessed by a flight of ashlar steps that have a cast iron balustrade, and there is a semi-circular canopy over the door supported by moulded iron pillars, with hollow cast iron acroteria at the edges. Flanking the door are large rectangular bay windows from the late 19th or early 20th century, each with six casement lights in the front and two lights on each side. At the rear, there is a lower two-storey gabled wing that projects to the right.
Inside, the entrance hall features a floor made of black and white diamond-shaped flags. The door surrounds have ribbed side panels and lintels, with roundels in the upper corners. The staircase consists of two flights with a half-landing, featuring stick balusters and a moulded mahogany handrail that is ramped at the top and has a wreathed curtail with a circular iron newel. Above the staircase is a groin vaulted ceiling with a central boss.
