Description

Long symmetrical 2-storey range, with advanced gabled bay to centre. Lower flanking wings at right angles to front, forming a yard. Constructed of snecked stone under slate roofs. Horned sash windows in square-headed stone surrounds. The advanced bay has a wide 4-centred entrance arch of voussoirs now infilled with glazing. Two 12-pane sashes to upper storey, and a blind roundel above, which may have contained a clock. A bell cupola rises from the ridge, with a finial supporting a weather vane. The advanced bay is flanked by pairs of windows, 4-over 8-pane above, and 16-pane below. That to the bottom L is now converted to a door. The flanking ranges are 1-and-a-half storeys to the L and 1-storey to the R, with small square 4-pane windows in heavy surrounds. The gable end of the L range has a window to each storey, whilst a glazed lean-to entrance corridor has been built against the interior side. Three windows to outer (W) side, one double. Skylights to roof. The R range has a double 4-pane window to the gable end, and similar style windows to the outer E side. The interior side contains an integral wood planked screen with added half-lit door. It is lit above by a continuous row of 4-pane windows. A short wall projecting from the SE angle helps to support a large open-side steel canopy with glazed hipped roof, 2-bay to the front, and 3-bay to the W, with bracing to the angle posts. The W gable end of the main range has 16-pane sash windows, 2 at ground floor level and 1 above. The rear is built into a bank and is partially below the level of Hendrefoilan Road. Central gabled bay with a 16-pane sash window. To the R is an inserted doorway approached by a walkway under a shallow raked dormer. Sky lights to roof.

The interior is now converted to a library.
