Description
C17 gentry house, 2 storey with attics, main range and rear wing forming a T-plan, with single storey added lean-to porch to SW. Built of rubble masonry, roughcast rendered and colourwashed. Slate roof with gable dormers and tall rectangular brick stacks with capping; gable stacks and axial stack at junction of the 2 wings. The principal elevation faces E, a 3 window range with central doorway; central attic window in gable above with flanking gable dormers. The ground floor has 2 close-set windows to the L (S) and a single window to the R of the doorway; small 3-pane light to cellar. Windows are 8-pane horizontally sliding sashes with slate sills; ground and first floor windows with eared and shouldered architraves. The R (N) gable return has similarly detailed windows on each floor; the rear S end has a similarly detailed first floor window, a gabled dormer above and entrance in the lean-to added porch with small paned window to left and small modern casement in the S wall. The W wing has scattered fenestration, the S wall has 2 windows to ground and first floor, offset to R (E); the ground floor R window is a modern replacement without architrave, the first floor R window is also a modern replacement and the L window is a paired window of small 8-paned horned sashes. The N wall has 3 ground floor windows, 2 x 16-pane hornless sashes to R and a narrow modern replacement window to L; first floor with window offset to L and attic dormer to R. The W wall has a single ground floor window offset to R (S), a modern replacement, without architrave.
The interior has been modernised and replanned. A central hallway leads back to the re-set features of the late C17 rebuilding. The mid C17 dog-leg staircase has moulded strings and handrail, flat strip-balusters and square newels with shaped finials and drops; the bottom newel has a carved lion in a seated position at its base. Beneath the stairs is a reset doorway, square-headed with moulded jambs and carved strips with fleurs-de-lys; the plain door with its wrought-iron hinges is original. At the head of the stair, is a similarly detailed doorway with a central shield flanked by lions, carved in relief on the lintel; the shield contains the initials and date: B / W F / 1655. In the bedroom at the head of the stairs is a reconstructed fireplace containing acanthus, egg-and-tongue, bead-and-rail and carved scrolls and consoles, all painted and with a modern central mirror above the mantel. A panel above the opening has a motto and the initials and date: B / W F / 1662 and above the mirror is a cartouche with arms of Hwfa (for William Wynn alias Bold). Flanking the mirror are painted shields of arms.
