Description
Mouswald House Gatepiers, built around 1830, is a two-storey manse that has been converted into three houses. The building features a full-height rear wing and is constructed from rubble with whitewashed walls and contrasting ashlar margins.
On the northwest elevation, there is an off-centre entrance bay that extends full height, with narrow lights at the canted angles, a panelled door topped with a fanlight, and a single window above. To the right, there are two bays with narrow lights, some of which are blind. A stair window is located at the left re-entrant angle, with a ground floor bipartite window beyond and two first-floor windows above.
A low addition has been made to the northeast, where French windows have been inserted, and a porch has been built at the southwest. The building has corniced axial stacks, including a cut-down wall-head stack on the rear wing, and piended slate roofs.
The gatepiers consist of two corniced square painted ashlar structures that have had their finials removed, leaving only their bases. These are complemented by curved ashlar-coped rubble-built quadrant walls.
