Description
The Old Workhouse at Bridgend General Hospital is a two-storey building with a plan consisting of three parallel ranges connected by a spinal range at the back of the southern range. It features a seven-three-five window arrangement with an advanced center. The exterior is faced with blue lias stone and has sandstone dressings, topped with slate roofs. The gables are adorned with cusped bargeboards and finials above the first-floor windows, and there are three steep gables with parapets, kneelers, and an inscribed cartouche at the center. The building has plain band courses between the storeys and a low plinth. The windows have voussoir lintels, with two-light designs and small casements on the upper floor, while the ground floor features modern window frames. In the center, there are two stone doorcases with drip stones, Gothic arches, and flush-panelled doors.
At the road end, there are single-storey extensions with hipped roofs over an arched entrance. To the right, modern buildings and a one-storey flat roof extension to the south are not considered of special interest. A western rubble-walled two-storey courtyard remains, radiating from a three-storey octagonal structure with ornately gabled angles. Additionally, there is a canted single-storey rubble range overlooking the road, which is raised by one storey at the southern end next to the side access to the walled courtyard.
