Description

The present front of 1810, is in a late Georgian style, rendered in Roman cement and lined out as ashlar, recently stone painted. The building is of 2 storeys, 5 bays, the central one recessed, with a projecting porch of Cefn or similar stone; attached Ionic columns and entablature forming a parapet to a concealed flat roof. Pair of oak glazed doors with overlight, and a similar inner pair of doors. To either side, 15-pane sash windows to the ground floor extending down to the external plinth, set within slightly projecting surrounds and triangular moulded pediments. The upper floor windows are of 12-pane sashes with stone sills. Wide boarded modilion eaves to the hipped slate roof. At the E end, a further 3-bay block containing a reception saloon was added in 1906, set forward from the facade, and in a matching style.

The entrance leads to a stair hall with an apsidal end, containing a flying stair with scrolled handrail, austerely detailed with stick balusters and simple cut brackets to the treads. The billiard room to the left had an Adam style fireplace with Delft tiles, now replaced. Six-panelled doors, the middle panels square. The added saloon has an imposing oak chimneypiece dated 1906, having 2-stage twin fluted columns with gadrooned capitals and a stone fireplace. Panelled shutters with fluted architraves and dentilled entablatures.
