Dunsa House

Dunsa House is a house built around 1848 by Joseph Paxton, designed in the Italianate style. It features coursed squared sandstone with a pitted tooled finish and ashlar stonework, topped with hipped and gabled Welsh slate roofs. The house has two storeys and a three-storey tower, with the west elevation displaying four irregular bays. The tower on the left has banded pilasters, and the ground floor includes a rectangular window with an ashlar architrave and segmental pediment, along with arched glazing bars. Above, there is a window in an eared ashlar surround with round-arched glazing, a plain band above, and a row of three keyed round-arched lights. The building is finished with a moulded cornice and parapet.

To the right, there is a parapet bay with a three-bay arcade on square piers, which includes two windows and a doorway, with three round-arched windows above. An advanced bay to the right features a shallow pitched gable, a tripartite window on the ground floor with a moulded hoodmould, and a triplet of round-arched windows above. The north elevation has a return wall of the tower that resembles the east elevation, with a four-bay open arcade to the left. An advanced gabled bay to the left contains a tripartite window with a shallow segmental pediment, a single light, and a pair of round-arched lights. The first floor features a triplet of round-arched lights flanked by rectangular lights, and most of the flat-arched windows have round-arched glazing bars. There is a range of garages to the south, which are not of special interest.
