Mangalore

Mangalore is a three-storey building with an attic, featuring a roughcast and dark brick front that contrasts with the predominant Ruabon brick in the town. The entrance is located at the first-floor level. The building has a broad central chimney breast that is set off to the right, topped with three brick stacks that have moulded caps, reminiscent of Folly Farm in Sulhampstead, designed by Lutyens. The roof is tiled and includes a tile-hung cross gable that slightly jetties at the top, with a casement window below. The eaves are wide and exposed.

On the second floor, the roughcast is swept over a band course, and there is an oculus window with a brick surround to the left, positioned under a kneeler with a ball finial and a pilaster strip at the end. The first floor is made of brick, featuring an asymmetrical casement window to the right around the corner, similar to Plumpton Place in Sussex, also by Lutyens. The central area has a four-light casement window, and to the left of the steps is a stepped semicircular arched entrance with broad chamfered jambs, leading to a recessed porch with double half-glazed doors. The ground floor consists of brick and cement render, with a buttress to the right and two segmental four-light casements.

The right side of the building is brick with a tile-hung and jettied gable supported by two large scroll brackets. It features a large five-light bay window and a flat hood over the porch with a half-glazed door. The left side is roughcast with casement windows and a two-storey flat roof extension. The rear, which is two storeys and an attic on the south side, has a tile-hung gable that jetties over a three-light attic window, with a lean-to lower roof and overall timberwork dormer. There are three-light windows at the ends and two brick chimney stacks with moulded caps.

Inside, the building retains a hall with a minstrel's gallery supported by timber beams with brackets. It features a wide splayed bay window and a recessed fireplace. Despite some alterations during the conversion to flats, the character of the building has largely been preserved.
