Caerhowel Hall

Caerhowel Hall is a country house dating from the 18th century. The main front elevation is of dark red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a slate hipped roof and no chimneys. It has three storeys and a five-bay front, with a slightly wider central bay that projects and features an open pediment. The outer bays have an eaves cornice of coved sandstone ashlar. Arched windows are present on each upper floor, each with gauged brick heads and stone sills, the upper head breaking into the pediment. The upper floor windows are six-pane sashes, likely enlarged in the 19th century with the removal of gauged brick heads. The first-floor windows are longer twelve-pane sashes with gauged brick heads.

A full-length addition was constructed in 1891 using hard red brick with sandstone ashlar dressings. This five-bay addition is divided by pilasters on pedestals, features an entablature and cornice, and has large four-pane sashes in the outer bays. The central section has an ashlar doorway with pilasters, an entablature, and a pediment, flanked by narrower bays with six-panel fielded and moulded door. Two plate glass sashes are set off centre against the doorcase pilaster. The left end of this addition incorporates a cantilevered bay with three flat-headed windows on each floor, with gauged brick heads and stone sills. The cantilevered bay has six-pane top windows (shorter than those on the main front) and twelve-pane windows on the main floors. A hipped roof covers this bay.

Further large three-storey additions, also dating from 1891 and constructed in hard red brick with matching ashlar cornices, extend to the right and rear of the original house. A slightly projected left bay features three sash windows on each floor, with the ground floor sash set within a pedimented surround dated '1891 RJH', followed by single windows on each floor, then a ground floor window. The end wall includes a two-storey canted bay. The rear return displays a fine, late 18th-century doorcase re-used as a window frame, featuring a moulded architrave, fluted consoles, and a cornice. This was originally a front door.

The interior of the ground floor is largely from 1891. A southeast ground floor room boasts a good plaster ceiling with oval decoration in an Adam style. A plain 19th-century staircase is located at the rear, with straight balusters and scrolled tread ends. A northeast ground floor room, within the 1891 addition, features a marble fireplace.
