Description
St Giles House is a two-storey building with attics, constructed in brick and roughcast render, featuring plain tiled roofs and designed in a neo-vernacular style. The building has a symmetrical layout with a short entrance range and four 'butterfly' radial wings. The entrance front includes a shallow projecting porch with a segmentally arched doorway, and a roughcast rendered panel recessed between brick pilasters above, with a 20-pane sash window below a steep gablet. To the left of the entrance is a stair window, which is mullioned and transomed with leaded lights, while to the right is a three-light stone mullioned window with paired sashes above. The roof features three dormers, with the central one being segmentally arched.
The wings extend at obtuse angles and each contains triple sash windows, with 18 and 24 panes, and flat arched gauged brick heads on each floor. Each wing also has a dormer gable over the central upper window. The wings are double-pile in plan and terminate at the front in single-storey ranges that run parallel to the entrance range, housing kitchen services in the right-hand wing and a former coach house in the left.
The rear of the building mirrors the front layout, featuring a short central range that contains office accommodation, with a canted bay window on the ground floor and paired sash windows above. The two obtuse angled wings are articulated by pilaster buttresses. The right-hand wing has paired lower windows (18 and 24-pane sashes) and similar windows above, while the left-hand wing ends in a three-bay loggia with segmentally arched arcading. Each side of the roof has three gabled dormers.
The original layout remains clearly visible, consisting of office accommodation in the central entrance range, with kitchens in the front right-hand wing and offices in the left. The rear wings were used as a dining room and playroom, with dormitories located above.
