Description
In Gothic Revival style. Of sandstone rubble and ashlar with Welsh slate roof with main centre ridge stack. Three unit plan: the main house in the centre, the former housekeeper's house to left with separate lower roof visible, and a very narrow chapel or library wing end right with steep separate gabled roof. Main frontage is dominated by three asymmetrical steep gables in centre each with a window at first floor level, the centre a cross window with deep moulded frame and hoodmould above, to left a shouldered lancet with a narrow sash, to right an ecclesiastical style 2 light window with geometric tracery and raised voussoired surround. The left gable is corbelled at first floor level, an offset string course continues at this level; in the centre gable it is stepped over the front doorway which is pointed arched and chamfered with a recessed vertically panelled studded door; it continues across the right gable bisected by a stepped buttress with stone tiled offsets, with cross frame windows on each side. Window glazing is still partly of diamond quarries; the sash in the right gable slides sideways into the wall; one other first floor sash slides upwards into the wall. To right the single storey chapel or library wing which breaks forward has a trefoil headed lancet to the corbelled upper part. To left are the two bays of the housekeeper's wing with no front windows at first floor level, 2 cross windows to the ground floor with a continuous hoodmould joining the corbelling of the centre left gable. Main entrance is now to side, former housekeeper's entrance, the door vertically panelled and with decorative hinges; pointed chamfered arched sash lancet above; rear windows of this unit altered but retain stone hoods. Main central unit again is asymmetrical with tall wide central gable with unequal verges, trefoil headed landing light, cross framed ground floor window with flanking buttress with offsets; the roof extends forward at a different pitch over staircase with sash lancet in return. End gable left to former chapel/library wing.
Interior retains mid C19 plan incorporating elements of C17 plan: ground floor single room depths; first floor has narrow rear landing to main house. Former separate staircase to housekeeper's wing rose from kitchen, which retains flag floor. Door surrounds are late Regency in style. Ceiling in main living room is deeply coffered. Shutters are of fine quality with raised panels. Curved stone staircase to first floor.
