Description
Kentdale Nursing Home is a house built around 1823, likely by architects Francis and George Webster. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features corner pilasters, with bands at the first floor sill and eaves. It has a moulded cast-iron gutter and a hipped roof covered in graduated slate, which has deeply projecting dentilled eaves and corniced stone chimneys at each end.
The structure is symmetrical, with two storeys and three bays; the central bay is set forward and has a single-storey arch on either side that connects the building to its neighbours. The central entrance is recessed and part-glazed, featuring a decorative fanlight above steps within a pedimented architrave. On either side of the door, there are tall tripartite sash windows in corniced surrounds, each with a balcony supported by low cross-walls and adorned with ornamental iron balustrades. Above, there are three sash windows in corniced architraves, with consoles supporting the central window. Additionally, there is an ornate cast-iron balcony at the window on the ground floor of the south return.
