Description
Ormonde House is a Gothic-style house built around 1840, located on Wood Street. It has two storeys and a basement, with a cement-rendered exterior. There is a band between the storeys, and a projecting gabled bay on the left featuring a saddle stone. The roof is a low-pitched hipped slate design, with the eaves concealed by a parapet.
The house has five windows, which are articulated by capped buttresses, except for those in the gabled bay. On the first floor, the right side features a canted bay window with four lights, topped with an eaves cornice and a hipped roof apron. The ground floor of the gabled bay has a large rectangular bay window with five lights, which is mullioned and transomed, and has a lean-to slate roof with a narrow panelled apron. The other windows are recessed, with mullioned and transomed casements, including a larger three-light window on the first floor of the gabled bay, some of which have drip moulds. One of the ground floor windows features a pointed arched drip mould and blind tracery in the tympanum.
The main entrance is next to the gabled bay, set within a four-centred arched porch that has a drip stone on foliate stops. The door consists of small paired panels below glazed lights that are shaped to form an arch, accessed by seven steps. There is a secondary entrance in the projecting buttressed bay on the west side, which has a window. The west front mirrors the gabled bay facing Wood Street and includes two additional windows, which are single-light casements with drip moulds on foliate stops.
