Description
Coed Du Hospital is a two-storey building constructed of grey coursed stone, featuring a hipped slate roof with very broad boarded eaves and brick chimneys. The original front consists of five bays, which has been extended to the right by an additional three bays. The second bay includes a shallow single-storey porch made of pale limestone, supported by paired Tuscan columns. There are steps leading up to the entrance doorway, which has a camber-headed overlight with diaper glazing and a glazed double-leaf door with glazed margins. The original five bays have voussoir lintels above their windows, while the added bays have stone lintels that imitate voussoir design. The windows are multipaned sash windows, with horned sashes in the added bays, nine-pane sashes on the first floor, and 15-pane sashes on the ground floor.
On the right-hand return, there is a single-storey polygonal bay with a splayed slate roof and sash windows. The left-hand return features a full-height polygonal bay with sash windows on the first and ground floor sides, along with a central 20th-century glazed door. The rear wing rises with the ground and has two nine-pane sash windows and a single 15-pane sash on the ground floor, while a former doorway is obscured by a 20th-century extension. This wing continues to the left, where there is a square tower topped with a low pyramidal slate roof, featuring camber-headed nine-pane sashes on the upper floor and square-headed nine-pane sashes on the other floors. Beyond the tower to the left, there are two additional bays, one of which includes a half-timbered oriel with sash glazing. At the rear, the angle between the wings contains service blocks built with matching materials.
Inside, there is a large entrance hall with a dentil cornice and a segmental arch leading to the staircase hall, which features an early 19th-century stair with an open string and a circular ceiling light adorned with a swagged frieze. Some other ground floor rooms have simple cornices and later 19th-century fireplaces.
