Description
The building is a three-storey structure with a five-window facade made of scribed stucco, featuring quoins, a cill, and a plinth. It has a slate roof with bracket eaves and modern brick chimney stacks. The windows are recessed, horned, four-pane sash types, with some colored glass in the former surgery windows. The central entrance has a classical doorcase with a trabeated frieze and fluted piers, which have later encasing at their bases. To the right, there is a narrower doorcase with unusually tall brackets supporting the cornice. Both entrances have six-panel reveals and four-panel doors.
To the left, there is a single-storey former surgery extension that has a similar window and a blocked doorway on its facade. This facade continues along Castle Street, bordering the courtyard, and includes a boarded double gate entrance that ends at a six-panel garden door.
The building features red brick gable ends and an attached full-height cross range. The rear has twin gabled brick sections with a rubble plinth and an arched-headed central window, along with a Victorian timber porch. There is a single-storey and attic stable range extending to the right, constructed of red brick with a slate roof, a central gable (which formerly had a hoist), and a dovecote on the north gable end, featuring horned sash windows. The rear wall of this range faces the Zion Chapel burial ground and is made of particularly large rubble stones, with a red brick chimney stack and a small-pane casement window. On the opposite side of the courtyard, there is a rubble coach house with brick cambered voussoirs, which formerly had a cottage attached to the right.
Inside, the building retains much of its mid to late 18th-century plan form and some details, though it has been divided into two properties. There are four-panel doors and some six-panel doors upstairs. The drawing room features segmental arched recesses and a ceiling rose. There is a segmental arched opening leading into a long passage on the right, which connects to the rear kitchen that overlaps with the kitchen of the right-hand property. The staircase has a panelled dado, a moulded handrail, tread ends, and a 1930s newel post, along with a small-pane sash window in the stairwell. The stairs to the right-hand property are now blocked, but both first-floor landings remain intact.
