Description
Gwern Hall is a building designed in the Gothic/Jacobean Revival style, showcasing the sub-medieval architectural feature of crow-stepped gables typical of Denbighshire. It is constructed from coursed and squared rubble with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof. The house has two storeys and an attic, comprising three linked ranges.
The right range is nearly symmetrical, featuring paired bays with steep crow-stepped gables, each adorned with a small centrally placed quatrefoil attic window and 3-light arched mullioned windows on the upper floor. The left bay has a flat-headed transomed window on the ground floor, while the right bay includes a central stepped buttress flanked by transomed windows. These bays are positioned around a central projecting gabled porch that has an arched entrance with moulded jambs, leading to a taller gabled dormer with a window featuring a cusped head.
To the left and set back is a tall stone chimney with a coped base and parapet, which rises from a buttress. Attached to this is a range that has a crenellated parapet, featuring a mullioned window with arched heads on the upper floor and a sash window below. The extreme left range steps forward in two stages; the first stage was a former porch with a shaped entrance that is now infilled and has a window. The building line then breaks forward again, revealing a full-height stepped buttress. Adjacent to this is a 2-light mullioned window with cusped arched heads on the first floor and a 20th-century window in an altered opening below. The stonework in this left range appears less regular and may be older than the rest of the building.
On the right side of the building, there is a crenellated wall that extends for approximately 30 meters before returning for a short distance. In the angle formed by this wall, there is a single-storey structure with an arched entrance and paired arched windows.
The rear of the building is rendered and features several 20th-century windows. Although not inspected during the 1997 survey, it is reported to contain some original features, including a staircase and panelled doors.
