Description
No. 2 Gungrog Hall is an 18th-century house, with a plan suggesting even earlier origins, that was substantially remodelled around 1860. Around 1950, the house was divided into two dwellings.
The house is constructed of brick with stone dressings, including angle quoins, and has slate roofs with axial and side wall stacks. The original 18th-century fabric consists of two gabled wings linked by a range at the rear, although the wings were raised in height when a central, full-height, canted wing was added in 1860. The main east elevation of the wings is symmetrical, featuring two four-pane sash windows on each floor, with flat arched stone heads, and a single, similar window in the gable apex. The rear elevation has twelve-pane sash windows, some with flat arched gauged brick heads. The rough brickwork at the rear angle of the south wing may indicate that the building was once larger. The central wing, added in 1860, has tall four-pane sash windows with triangular heads cut into flat stone lintels. A moulded stone cornice is topped by a later reconstruction of a blocking course. A lower wing to the north appears to be largely of around 1860, with similar arched window heads in its catslide dormer; however, it retains one small window with a finely gauged brick head.
The interior is notable for the quality of panelling introduced around 1860. The stair hall contains early 18th-century fielded panelling, including lozenge panels and reeded pilasters, with deep recessed panels to the overmantle of the fireplace. The staircase itself has moulded tread ends in an 18th-century style, but the chamfered balusters, and heavy newel posts suggest a date of around 1860. The dining room is also fully panelled with 18th-century features, including high raised panels separated by a dado rail, and a moulded cornice. Reeded pilasters flank the bolection moulded fireplace, which incorporates a high relief panel depicting Saint Christopher, and carved figures supporting the overmantle, featuring scrolled decoration. The drawing room, also dating to 1860, was previously panelled but this was removed around 1850; it retains the original ribbed panelled ceiling with a heavily undercut central boss featuring oak leaves.
The house is historically significant as an 18th-century building substantially remodelled in the mid-19th century, and is of architectural interest for the quality of its interior fittings.
