Auckland House

Auckland House is a 19th-century rubble-built structure featuring a broad hipped slate roof. It has tall rubble chimney stacks, one at each end and one in the center, with stone tabling. The front elevation is two stories high and consists of six wide bays, with 20th-century windows that have cambered yellow brick heads; the right bay includes four-pane sash windows. There are four rubble-built dormer windows with four-pane casements and brick heads, complemented by plain bargeboards. A wide 20th-century gabled porch is located to the left of center. The right end of the building has two four-pane sashes on the first floor and French doors on the ground floor to the left. Two wide blocked cambered openings are visible: one between the second bay from the left and the porch, and the other between the second and third windows from the right, with blocked basement-level openings on each side. These wide openings originally allowed railway sidings to access the interior of the warehouse. According to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, the earliest part of the building, dating from 1819, comprises the second and third bays from the left, with straight joints visible on each side of this section, indicating that the current left stacks are on the original gable walls. Extensions made in 1820 added two bays to the north, and after 1822, a bay was added at each end, both with hipped roofs. The interior was not available for inspection during the survey in December 1999.
