Description
Gunley Hall is a two-storey building dating from 1810, designed in a late Georgian style. The front is rendered in Roman cement and lined out to resemble ashlar, with recent stone painting. It features five bays, with the central bay recessed and a projecting porch made of Cefn or similar stone. The porch is supported by attached Ionic columns and an entablature that forms a parapet over a concealed flat roof. The entrance has a pair of oak glazed doors with an overlight, along with a similar inner pair of doors. On either side of the entrance, there are 15-pane sash windows on the ground floor that extend down to the external plinth, framed by slightly projecting surrounds and triangular moulded pediments. The upper floor has 12-pane sash windows with stone sills. The hipped slate roof has wide boarded modilion eaves.
At the eastern end, a three-bay block was added in 1906, which contains a reception saloon that is set forward from the main facade and matches the original style.
Inside, the entrance leads to a stair hall with an apsidal end, featuring a flying stair with a scrolled handrail, simply detailed with stick balusters and cut brackets on the treads. To the left is a billiard room that originally had an Adam style fireplace with Delft tiles, which has since been replaced. The doors are six-panelled, with the middle panels being square. The added saloon boasts an impressive oak chimneypiece dated 1906, featuring two-stage twin fluted columns with gadrooned capitals and a stone fireplace. The room also has panelled shutters with fluted architraves and dentilled entablatures.
