Description
Brecon House is a two-storey building with a roughcast unpainted exterior and a three-window front. It features a low-pitched slate roof and a raised plinth. The central front door is accessed by a double flight of four stone steps, which has a plain iron handrail. The windows are 12-pane sashes with slate sills. The front door is a flush-panelled six-panel design with a traceried fanlight, set in a painted, panelled, round-arched reveal. There are thin painted timber pilasters on either side of the door, supporting a semicircular painted timber hood on paired carved brackets. The west side elevation is plain with three windows, and a later 19th-century bay window has been removed since 1981. There is a northeast service range that is set back from the main façade.
Inside, there are panelled doors, shutters, a contemporary staircase, and 19th-century fireplaces.
