Description
Trawscoed Hall, also known as Crosswood, is a 18th-century building constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a hipped slate roof. It stands three storeys tall and features five window bays, along with a two-storey, two-bay wing on the west end. The front elevation is symmetrical, with the three central bays slightly projecting and topped with a pediment, which includes a central oval stone inscribed with the date 1777. The building showcases stone cavetto moulded raking and horizontal cornices, the latter extending over the side bays as an eaves cornice that returns at the ends with a brick dentilled and cogged eaves.
The central entrance features a six-panelled door with a radial web fanlight set in a round-headed opening, framed by an Adamesque fluted doorcase and flat cornice. The windows are twelve-paned sashes, with six-paned sashes in the attic, all having rubbed brick lintels and retaining crown glass. The wing has 19th-century similar sashes, and the two windows flanking the entrance door are blind. Lead rain-water hoppers with a crest, dated 1771, were brought from Trawscoed Hall.
The rear elevation includes a centrally added three-storey block that contains the entrance, featuring a six-panelled door at the east end. The wing has a stone-built rear extension, made from Standard Quarry stone from Welshpool, wrapping around the northwest corner and featuring a 48-paned iron window. The east end elevation is partly constructed of rubble stonework and includes horizontally sliding sashes.
All main windows are fitted with panelled shutters within their reveals. The dining room, located in the southeast corner, boasts a white marble chimneypiece. A small room contains late 16th-century panelling and timberwork from 1650, originally from Trawscoed Hall. The building also features a fine contemporary staircase.
