Description
Mowbray House is a country house built in the mid-18th century, with an addition made around 1870. The structure features coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and a 20th-century tile roof, along with eight ashlar stacks and moulded eaves. The house is two storeys high and has a nine-bay east front, which includes a recessed centre added around 1870. This centre has slightly projecting central rusticated pilasters and a doorway with double doors and an overlight, all within an ashlar surround. The doorway is topped by a flat hood supported by brackets, which has a balcony balustrade. Above the doorway is a plain sash window in a moulded ashlar surround, and above that is a panel bearing a coat of arms topped by a segmental pediment.
On either side of the central section are large plain sash windows, with smaller plain sashes above. The house has slightly projecting three-bay wings, each featuring two large plain sashes and two smaller plain sashes above. At either end of the wings are two-storey canted bay windows with rusticated pilaster strips, which contain three large plain sashes and three smaller plain sashes above. The front is topped by a balustrade. To the left of the main front is a screen with a blocked arch and two open round arches, also topped by a balustrade and a central pedimented finial.
The south front consists of five bays and has a projecting loggia on the right, which includes a single window to the right and three round arches with keystones, all topped by a plain parapet. To the left of the loggia are two plain sash windows, while to the right are a half-blocked window and a blocked window, all featuring plain ashlar surrounds.
