Description
2-storey, of rendered concrete, with slate roof, and Gothic detailing. Integral lean-tos to R and rear. The 4-window front has angle pilaster strips, moulded architraves and a plat band. The windows have concrete mullions with round-headed lights (3-light in the upper storey, with 2-light above the porch, and 4-light in the lower storey). Each incorporates an iron frame casement. The porch is to L of centre and has a pointed arch and slate roof. Axial stacks at L end and R of centre. The lean-to to R has a C20 casement in its lateral wall. The rear elevation has similar windows to front, with plainer architraves. To L is an original lean-to (with further lean-tos added late C20).
The interior retains its original subdivision (although internal openings between them are now blocked off), the servants' quarters, now holiday cottage, occupying the unit to R with lean-tos. All internal partition walls are of concrete and the ground floor is said to be laid with concrete slabs. The roof is said to be constructed with cast iron rafters and concrete slabs, over which slates were laid. The main house has a central stair hall with straight concrete stair, which has a concrete handrail moulded into the wall. 2 units in the lower storey. The room to R has a fireplace with a concrete overmantle on brackets, and a timber spine beam with exposed joists. The servants' quarters is single unit. The lean-to to R is said to contain a timber stair and concrete steps to a barrel-vaulted cellar in concrete.
