Description
Betnea is a two-storey building with single-storey wings, constructed from red brick and featuring a hipped slate main roof and a broad brick chimney stack. The front of the building is symmetrical, with a plinth and sill band, and it includes 12-pane sash windows, which are taller on the ground floor. The central entrance is tall and arched, adorned with voussoirs and a fine traceried fanlight, along with sidelights and a six-panel door. The flanking wings, which may have originally served as coach-houses, step forward slightly. The gables at the front have a simple pediment treatment with ornamental diamond motifs and tall arched recesses on each side. The left wing has a tiled roof and features a three-window side elevation that includes sashes and a central entrance. The right wing has a slate roof with modern windows and an attached monopitch range. The rear of the building is similar in style. Inside, the altered interior retains a simple Georgian curved staircase.
