Description
A former farmhouse on land sloping down to the east and south, but the site itself terraced. The house is of 1½ or two storeys, ranging east/west (north-east/south-west). Brickwork exterior, generally in Ruabon bricks but with the east bay in earlier handmade bricks with two dentilled string courses. The east bay on the south side is in a common orange brick, apparently contemporary with the Ruabon bricks. Three lean-to or catslide roofed extensions of differing heights on the north side, one at west. Slate roofs with tile ridges. Large mid chimney offset to the east, with ribbed twin stacks in grey stone; the stacks are also joined at the cap where there is extra ribbing. End-stack in brickwork at the east gable.
The conspicuous side of the house in that to the south, now an irregular C19 elevation with four through-eaves dormer windows. Three of these windows are of timber mullion and transom type with iron casements and glazing bars. The fourth is a pair of casements beneath an overlight set within the triangle of the dormer gable. Lower windows also of timber mullion and transom type with iron casements and glazing bars; three modern doors. Other C19 fenestration to east and in the east bay of the north side, with iron casements and glazing bars; irregular small-pane modern fenestration elsewhere to north side. Two small roof-lights in the north side of the main roof.
Four-bay hall house with dais to west, converted to lobby entrance type. Fine dais partition of post and panel type with single doorway at its north side. Carpenter's marks legible. Chamfered panel heads. Good C17 staircase with splat balusters. An early (cross-passage?) door-head noted at north side in the third bay.
