Pantyquesta House

A Tudor-style country house of 2 storeys with attic, of coursed rock-faced stone and slate roof (partly renewed) hipped to the R and half-hipped to the L, and retaining a tall brick stack front L (the others are removed). The mullioned windows have leaded lights and sashes, although some have been replaced with modern materials. The entrance front faces the drive on the N side. The entrance is in a gabled 2-bay projection L of centre. The doorway is on its R side under a shallow segmental arch and has a 3-light window to its L, which have a linked hood mould with mythical beasts to the stops. The entrance defines a shallow porch in which is a half-lit door with Tudor-arched panels, with similar flanking panels and overlight. In the upper storey are a 3-light window on the R side and a large 3-light window with 2 transoms to the L lighting the stair. In the attic is a 3-light window. To the L of the gabled projection is a single bay with 1-light window in the lower storey and a gabled roof dormer with 2-light casement. Set further back on the R side of the entrance the elevation is less regular and has single and 2-light windows. The E elevation has two 2-light windows in the lower storey and 2-light window upper R and single-light upper centre.

The S garden front has projecting square 2-storey castellated towers at the ends. These have 3-light windows to the front, 2-light upper-storey windows on the W side of both towers, while sides facing inwards both have doorways under segmental heads, which are half-lit to the R and replaced to the L. Between the towers are 2 unequal bays. The bay to the R is wider, gabled, has a 4-light mullioned and transomed window in the lower storey, with 2-light window above and to the attic. The L-hand bay has a 4-light lower-storey window with a pair of single-light windows above. A veranda is inserted in the space between the towers. It is in Art Nouveau style with 3 cast iron columns and replaced glazed roof.

The W end continues with a lower 2-storey bay housing service accommodation, beyond which, on the W side of the house, is a courtyard enclosed by single-storey stables, coach house and workshops, retaining boarded doors with large strap hinges. The E side of the courtyard, next to the house, is a single-storey range now converted to a garage. The entrance to the courtyard is a gateway on the N side.

The stair hall has an open-well stair with pierced Gothic panels between balusters. The drawing room on the SW side has a neo-classical plaster ceiling with oval panels.
