Description
This is a former convalescent home, built in the 18th century. The building is symmetrical, with a central block and oblique side wings. The walls are limestone with sandstone ashlar dressings, and feature mullion and transom windows beneath slate roofs. The central three bays of the central wing are three storeys with a hipped slate roof. The central bay of the main block projects as a tower, featuring a parapet, machicolation, and a crowning spire. It has three-light mullioned windows on the third, second and first floors, with transoms in the second and first floor windows. The first and ground floor bays project further, the first floor bay having a segmental pediment. A rounded headed entrance doorway is at ground floor level, flanked by half columns.
To either side of the central bay, each has a bay with a half-timbered gable over the attic storey, a rounded-light transomed window on the second floor, and storeyed canted bay windows on the first and ground floors. The outer bays at each end of the central block are two storeys and attic, with a crowning gable and large transomed attic windows. Each inner bay has a two-light transom window on both the first and ground floors, and each outer bay has a storeyed canted bay window on both floors.
An exceptionally narrow bay sits between the central and side wings; beyond it, the innermost bay of each side wing projects forward with a gable, a transomed attic window, and mullioned and transomed windows of four lights on both the ground and first floors. The middle bays of the side wings are narrow and recessed, featuring a small gable over the attic window and a two-light transomed window on both the ground and first floors. A loggia is against the ground floor of the northern wing. The outermost bay of each side wing also projects forwards with a crowning gable, a transomed window to the attic, and four-light transom and mullion windows on both the first and ground floors. The northern wing features a four-bay loggia with semi-elliptical arches against the ground floor and basement. The gable end of the southern wing has a three-light window on both the attic and first floors, and a three-bay arcade against the ground floor. A two-storey building is built against the north gable end of the northern wing.
Inside, the building includes a large dining room with a hammer beam roof, and doorways in the entrance hall with architraves and pediments.
