Description
Argoed is a house constructed from rubble stone with decorative coloured brick features and a slate half-hipped roof. It has a short yellow and red brick chimney stack on the left end. The building is two stories high with a two-window front, and there is a lower service range to the right. A multi-coloured porch covers the doors leading into each section of the house.
The main part of the house features a deep red brick band between the plinth and the ground floor sills, another red brick band under the first-floor sills, and a third band at the eaves that is interrupted by the upper window heads. The corners of the building are accentuated with yellow brick quoins. The windows are two-light designs with paired plate-glass sashes, supported by a cast-iron column that carries paired arched heads made of brick. The upper windows have a yellow brick single ring, while the inner ring is also yellow and the outer ring is red, featuring a Bath stone keystone and arch springers. The iron column has a simple capital that supports a top piece shaped to act as a springer for the two arches, and it has a block at mid-height. The sides of the windows are adorned with alternating red stretchers and yellow headers.
The porch has a hipped slate roof and consists of two bays with three deep piers. Each pier contains a cylindrical column made of yellow brick, with flat black tiles above and below, backing onto a wall pier of yellow and black brick arranged in wide bands (the right pier also has a band of red). Each pier has a red brick plinth and red and yellow brick bands extending up to the eaves. The doors within the porch have alternating red and yellow bricks in the jambs. The doors are 20th-century, with one leading to the main house and the left one to the service range. The service range is rendered and has one 20th-century window. On the right end of the main house, there is a single window on each floor to the left, along with marks of a chimney breast in the wall, although the chimney is missing.
The property was not inspected at the time of the survey.
