Description

The Steward's House, including the walls in front, is a house and courtyard walls that were once home to the Steward of the Mount. It dates from the early 19th century and is constructed of stucco. The roof is half-hipped and hipped, made of scantle slate, with brick chimneys on the side walls. It features a cast-iron ogee gutter.

The building has an L-shaped double depth plan, consisting of two equal front reception rooms with a central entrance passage between them. There is a service wing at right angles behind the left-hand room and a service room in a shallow outshut behind the right-hand room.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front facing roughly east. The central doorway has a six-panel door with an overlight and is adorned with a 20th-century wooden distyle Doric porch. Banded stucco pilasters flank the front, and round arches frame the ground floor window openings, which contain late 19th or 20th-century sashes with glazing bars. The interior has not been inspected, but it is likely that original 19th-century internal joinery remains.
