Portclew House

Local rubble sandstone and limestone, rendered and scored to imitate ashlar masonry joints. The eaves projects deeply with a lath and plaster cove and false paired brackets to the soffit. Hipped slate roof. Curious hoisting pulley on brackets at rear.

Range of three windows in main elevation to S. Because of the unusual size of the rooms, the windows appear very small in proportion to the façade. Hornless sashes with thin glazing bars. The top storey windows have three and six-pane sashes, elsewhere the windows have two six-pane sashes. The ground storey windows are tripartite with mullions and two-pane side sashes. Large semi-octagonal porch at centre with French windows giving balcony access above. Regency cast-iron railings to balcony.

Central entrance hall with stairs and with dining room at left and drawing room at right. Each of these rooms has a large rear alcove for furniture. Open-string staircase with two balusters per tread. Swept rail coiled at the bottom newel. At the rear, a half-storey above, a reception room of slightly Gothick character, with French windows to a N-facing balcony.
