Description
Compton House is a three-storey building with a two-window front, featuring a rendered exterior with quoins and a slate roof supported by rectangular brick chimneys. The second-floor windows are six-pane sashes, while the first floor has twelve-pane sashes. On the ground floor to the left, there is a mid-19th century shopfront with double-leaf entrance doors that are part-glazed and set back between shop windows. The shopfront is supported by classically derived end pilasters and has a fascia with a cornice. To the right of the shopfront, there is a passageway with exposed stop-chamfered beams, leading to the entrance of the house on the left. At the rear, a section over the passageway is weather-boarded and is said to be timber-framed beneath. To the right of this, the roofslope continues over a slightly lower rubble section that features a lateral chimney with a brick stack.
Inside, the building has exposed stop-chamfered beams and joists, along with some exposed timber-framing that includes infill made of wattle and daub and Llanfyllin brick.
