Argoed Hall

Argoed Hall is a small country house built in a simple Tudorbethan style, with later extensions to the north and south that are designed in a similar style but include some Classical details. The house is two stories high with an attic, constructed from coursed, rock-faced rubble stone with ashlared dressings, including the openings, string course, and gable copings. It features slate roofs and stone chimney stacks, along with various types of casement windows.

The east front, which faces the drive, has a pair of advanced gables on the left that reflect the original shape of the building. Both gables have flat bay windows on the ground floor; the left one is a two-light bay with a pierced parapet, while the right one is a shallower three-light bay. On the first floor, there are two windows set back to the right, with a bracketed polygonal oriel above that has a swept lead roof. There is also a similar gabled bay at the extreme right, which features a quatrefoil stone inscribed with the letter 'G' in the gable.

The entrance is located on the south side, where a taller range was added during the late Victorian period. This area includes a similar polygonal oriel over the entrance porch and lobby, featuring a balustraded parapet with a pedimented coat of arms supported by volute brackets, and a cavetto moulded entrance. The north end of the house has a polygonal bay, while the rear features gables flanking a substantial splayed attic oriel. The first floor has a recessed verandah with an Ionic column and a carved balustraded parapet above the ground floor bay, along with a two-story bay to the right.

Although not inspected, earlier descriptions suggest that the interior has a late Victorian character. The entrance leads into a square hall with a painted floral frieze and a panelled stairwell, featuring shouldered architraves in the main rooms. The panelled dining room, known as the Greek Room, has heavily renewed Adamesque detailing. The drawing room features a ribbed and panelled ceiling with an arched recess beside the fireplace, while the morning room has a hooded chimneypiece and a rose-decorated frieze. The stairs have a swept handrail, bulbous balusters, and finials. The detailing upstairs is simpler and includes a tiled bathroom, while the cellars are tiled and feature a vaulted chamber.
