Rug

Rug is a Grade II* listed building constructed of ashlar stone with a tooled plinth and a hipped slate roof that was remodeled in 1976. It has two storeys and the entrance front faces northwest, featuring seven bays arranged in a 2-3-2 pattern. The central section has a projecting portico or porte-cochere with three bays supported by giant Ionic columns and pilasters, which carry an entablature. The entrance consists of central paired doors with an overlight. The building has 12 and 9-pane sash windows, with a continuous sill band on the first floor.

The garden front features a full-height central bow with three windows set between giant Ionic engaged columns, flanked by three windows on either side. The ground floor has 15-pane floor-length sash windows, while the first floor has 9-pane sashes. The exterior is adorned with plain string courses, a moulded cornice, and a blocking course throughout.

To the right of the garden front are the remains of a wing built around 1880, which included a five-bay colonnade that was once part of a conservatory, separated by movable screens from a ballroom or billiard room. This area is now an open loggia, featuring segmental arches supported by columns on octagonal bases with foliate capitals. Above the arches are lion head masks, with terracotta and carved stone rosettes in the spandrels.

Inside, the contemporary interiors of the late 18th-century house are said to include a staircase with cast-iron balusters made by William Hazeldine of Shrewsbury, as well as panelling from around 1525 that was removed from an older mansion.
