Description
This is a mid-19th century country house built of ashlar Doulting stone, with coursed random rubble to the rear. It has gabled roofs covered in Welsh slate, with lead ridges and valleys, wide soffited eaves featuring expressed purlins and modillions, and ashlar chimney stacks. The house is arranged in a 'U' shape and built in an Italianate style.
The main entrance facade faces west and features a projecting gabled bay with a four-panel fielded and bolection-moulded door, set within a Venetian style stone frame with a tympanum. This is flanked by two-pane sash windows. Above the door is a nine-pane casement window in a projecting stone frame, with a stone balconette on scroll brackets, a perforated parapet, and a moulded coping. A projecting moulded hood with a pierced stone semi-wheel window in a moulded surround sits above the roof void. To the right of the door are two-light, two-pane sash windows to the ground floor and an eight-pane sash window to the first floor, followed by a projecting chimney stack with an expressed flue on a corbel bracket. To the left of the entrance bay is a single-storey wing with two two-light, eight-pane sash windows in projecting stone frames with bracketted hoods.
The south facade is divided into three sections. On the left is a two-storey octagonal bay with three-pane sash windows to the ground floor, a scroll-bracketed hood mould, and twelve-pane sash windows to the first floor within raised surrounds, all under a hipped slate roof. The central portion contains the entrance, set behind a pair of Tuscan columns with flanking pilasters and a bracketted entablature. Above the entrance is a three-light window with an eight-12-eight pane sash arrangement. To the right is a projecting square bay with a three-light, round-headed, three-pane sash window and a bracketted moulded entablature that extends to the left over the entrance. At first floor, a pierced stone parapet fronts a balcony, with two-light, eight-pane, round-headed openings set within a projecting frame and expressed key stones. A perforated stone wheel window with a projecting stone surround and key stones is above the roof space.
Attached to the right of the house is a three-bay sun room with Tuscan columns and pilasters supporting a plain clay tile hipped roof and a moulded timber cornice. A raised terrace, with three flights of stone steps, and hollowed-out stone planting boxes extends from the sun room. A Doulting stone Ha-Ha boundary wall runs approximately 300 metres long, extending 80 metres to the east and south of the house.
