Description

Two-storey, 5-window range with cellars, originally built as an inn, with shorter, 2-storey, 3-window wing to right (NW) end (Mona Isaf); to the rear, and abutting the NW wing, is a U-shaped range of lofted stables and cartsheds around a large rectangular courtyard. The main house is built of local rubble masonry with rendered elevations (the rear elevation much weathered), the front and left return elevations with 1st floor sill band; roof of large thin slates with brick gable stacks, and a single brick stack to rear, to left (NW) of 3rd window in range. To the left (SE) is a single-storey lean-to, hidden from the road by a rubble wall, and to the rear is a half-glazed, modern gabled porch. The principal elevation faces the road to the NE, and has a central panelled door under a rectangular fanlight with radiating glazing bars. Windows are hornless sashes, ground floor 15-pane, 1st floor 12-pane; ground floor windows with slate sills. The left (SE) gable return has a single 1st floor window of 12-panes; the lean-to has a 12-pane sash and boarded door to the right (NE). The rear of the house is much-weathered, the windows are 4-pane, horned sashes (probably late C19 replacements); to the left (NW) end is a square-headed opening to the brick vaulted cellars. The added wing to the NW end of the main house is a shorter, 2-storeyed wing of local rubble masonry; slate roof with brick gable stack at right (NW) end and ridge stack offset to left (SE) end. A 3-window range with central doorway, the wing has been extensively renovated and few of the original hornless sash windows remain; the building is now semi-derelict.

The main house has the principal rooms to the front, the ground floor rooms to either side of a central hallway with axial corridor to rear; most of which retains the original stone flagged floor. A dog-leg staircase with clasping handrail on stick balusters leads to the first floor axial landing; a second staircase (to the NW end of the house) was removed in the mid C20. Most of the principal rooms retain panelled shutters and dado rails; and many of the bedrooms retain small cast-iron fireplaces.
