Description

Plumgate, also known as Delfryn, is a 1½ storey house that faces north towards enclosed ground. It is constructed from rendered local rubble or axe-dressed limestone masonry, featuring coped gables and a roof made of very small 18th century slates. The main range has altered fenestration, with 20th century small-pane casements and a 20th century porch. However, the off-centre door and the windows to its left likely occupy original positions. There is an upstairs window and two ground storey windows to the right of the porch. A large stone chimney is located on the left (east) side, topped with a square brick stack, while there is a brick end-stack on the right side.

At the rear of the house, there is a large two-storey brick wing on the west side and a smaller brick wing on the east side. The rear west wing is made of red brick in Flemish bond, with a roof of small slates, a coped gable, and a brick mid-chimney. The west elevation of this rear wing features 8- and 16-pane 18th century hornless sash windows both above and below, along with a similar 16-pane window inserted in the upper storey of the front range. There is a side door at the rear of the front range, which has a brick porch. The rear east wing is built in English Garden Wall bond and has a roof of large slates, with modern windows. The interior is plain, and the roof timbering is not accessible.
