Description
Danygraig House is a Regency country house constructed of stone with scored stucco rendering on the main elevations. It features a Welsh slate roof that is hipped at the wings, which have ridge stacks and decorative pots. The building has a U-shaped plan to the south, consisting of an entrance front and cross wings, with a rear courtyard. There is an additional wing attached to the rear of the north frontage, creating a double pile with a parallel storage wing across a second courtyard.
The west front is two stories high and has six bays, with hipped roofs on the wings that project forward. There are two flanking former main entrance bays, one to the right (south) and one to the left, which is the end of the north cross range, resulting in an asymmetrical frontage. The larger first-floor windows are mostly 8/12 pane sashes set in reveals with sills, and there is a tripartite sash window above the former portico. The ground floor windows are mainly 8/8 pane sashes, along with long 6/6 pane horned sashes with very narrow glazing bars flanking the former main entrance. There is also a canted bay at the left end (northwest) featuring a dentil cornice and large fixed glazed windows.
The former single-storey entrance bay has been altered with glazed infill to the round arched former doorway, although the large petal pattern fanlight has been retained. The right side elevation (south) has small pane sash glazing, which is taller on the ground floor, and a canted bay to the right. A later garden room is attached at the southeast corner at a high level. Originally, the entrance door had a cast iron porch, but this has been relocated to the garden opposite the house to accommodate a building extension. There are lean-to additions, with segmental arched windows and a hipped roof on the rear range to the west, while the east side has various boarded openings.
The interior has been altered due to its conversion into a respite care centre, but some features such as reeded door surrounds, panelled reveals, and a front hall recess have been retained.
