Description

Wynnstay is a former inn that has been converted into a house. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, which was previously painted, and features a nogged brick eaves cornice and a slate pyramid roof with a large central brick chimney. The building has a square plan, stands three storeys tall with a basement at the rear, and consists of three bays. The windows are hornless sash type, with painted stucco heads and keystones, and painted stone sills. The attic has square 6-pane windows, while the main floors have 12-pane windows and a central door. The entrance features one large stone-paved step leading to a six-panel door with an overlight, topped by a renewed corniced hood supported by broad console brackets and thin pilasters. In 1981, there was an unharmonious canopy on metal posts.

The side walls are two bays wide, lacking a central window, with openings that have cambered heads. The left end wall includes two-light transomed and leaded casements on the ground and first floors, a two-light window on the second floor to the left, and an old two-light window with small panes to the right on the top floor, along with a modern window in the old opening on both floors below. The right end wall features two pairs of leaded casements on the second floor, a partly renewed transomed two-light window on the first floor to the right, and a modern casement pair to the left. The ground floor has a modern three-light transomed window to the right and a small added one-storey shop made of painted brick with a slate roof. The shop front faces Arthur Street and includes top lights over a triple sash window and a doorway to the left with a large two-pane overlight.

At the rear, there are three bays with casement pairs on the outer windows of the top floor, and the middle staircase windows are set lower, as are the outer first-floor windows. There is a lean-to porch with a six-panelled door. Attached to the rear left is a small rubble stone range that is one storey and has an attic.

Inside, there are fielded six-panel doors with panelled reveals, a staircase featuring square balusters and scrolled tread ends, and a fireplace with a cornice.
