Description
Quarry Hill House is a gentleman's residence that has been converted into a nursing home. The building is entirely rendered and features a shallow pitched hipped roof covered with Welsh slate. It has two yellow brick ridge stacks, boarded overhanging eaves, an eaves band, end pilasters, and a plinth. Most of the windows are 18-pane sashes with narrow glazing bars, and the ground floor windows have moulded architraves while the first floor windows have shaped sills.
The entrance front has three bays, with a central doorway that includes an architrave and cornice supported by consoles, a panelled door, and an overlight. There is a large prostyle portico that once had a balustraded parapet, but only remnants of this remain. The garden elevation on the south side has seven bays, though a 1920 photograph shows only four of these, with the two outer bays projecting and each topped with a hipped roof. The ground floor windows in the two centre recessed bays are French casements, also featuring moulded architraves and cornices on consoles.
To the west, there is a three-bay extension that has similar windows and a narrow ground floor doorway. The north elevation includes a recessed bay situated between the gable end of the frontage and a parallel wing, which contains a wide tripartite staircase window. The interior has been completely refurbished following extensive fire damage. A previous listing description mentions a cellar with a flagged stone floor and a cellar staircase.
