Description

Originally a house, later adapted for use as a hospital, dating to the early 19th century with significant alterations in the early 20th century. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings and a slate roof, featuring brick chimneystacks. It is a large and rambling structure, extending over two and three stories, and has been considerably altered and expanded, possibly incorporating an older core. The North front features a columned porch, while the South front incorporates pilasters and ironwork believed to be re-used elements from the Adam style. A projecting bay supported by columns is visible on the East front.

The interior was refurbished in the early 20th century and incorporates reused 18th-century features. A staircase with iron balusters is attributed to Adam, and the entrance hall displays plasterwork in the Adam style. The hall also contains a 20th-century marble floor, an 18th-century marble fireplace with a panel depicting cherubs, alternating glyphs, paterae, corner urns, and fluted pilasters. A painted glass dome, purportedly originating from the 1788 Cordwainers' Hall at No. 7 Cannon Street, London, which was demolished in 1909 (though its later date is more likely), is a notable feature. The Queen Anne Room is fitted with early 20th-century oak panelling. The Drawing Room exhibits a later 18th-century style with gilding, pilasters, mirrors, and a finely coffered ceiling. The ceiling's placement is unusual, as one end overlaps a bow window extending the full width of the house. Tradition suggests the ceiling originated in Paris, but it is also possible it is part of Sylvanus Hall's work for the Cordwainers’ Hall of 1788. The L-shaped portion of the hospital on the right is not considered to be of special architectural interest.
