Great House

This is a large house built of roughly squared thin coursed red sandstone rubble with Welsh slate roofs and stone stacks. The main range dates from the 16th to 18th centuries and is in a muted Tudor style, with a lower-roofed addition to the left and lean-to additions on both gable ends. The building has a part single and part double depth plan, and the top storey was rebuilt, likely after a fire.

The garden elevation (facing north-east) is arranged in five bays. The first bay on the left is set back with a lower roofline, and the last bay on the right is also set back but aligns with the main house's ridgeline. The first bay features a mullion-and-transom casement with recessed cambered heads above and below, and a steeply pitched roof with a gable stack. The second bay has an apparently original 3-light stone mullioned window with arched heads, sunk spandrels, iron cames, and a hoodmould on the ground floor; above is a 3-light casement window characteristic of the early 17th century. This Tudor window has a late Perpendicular character and may date from earlier in the 16th century. The central bay is blind except for a casement with an arched head and scalloped bargeboarded gable on the attic floor. A rebuilt 'Tudor' arched porch is recessed and contains a door with a likely original 'Tudor' head. A datestone reading ‘W.H.M 1904’ sits above the outer arch, and above the porch is a narrow window with 20th-century joinery. A single flight stair, likely added in the 17th century, was removed. The final bay contains a replacement cross-mullioned window in an arched head, with an inserted 3-light window above and a replacement 2-light one in an arched head above again. This elevation has a steeply pitched roof with three tall stacks - one to each gable and one in the centre.

Lean-to additions of differing dates extend from both return gables.

The yard elevation (facing south-west) is similar in character but more varied in detail, incorporating a string course at first-floor cill level for the right-hand two-thirds of the front. The ground floor has a cross-mullioned window to the left, followed by a Victorian gabled porch with a panel depicting a rampant griffon and the inscription ‘W M A.D. 1600’. A further 2-light Tudor mullioned window has arched heads, sunk spandrels, iron cames and a hoodmould with decorated stops. There are also two smaller arched lights, possibly in the later part of the building. The first floor has a 2-light casement window, a small window, a 2-light mullion-and-transom casement with hoodmould, and a similar window without a hoodmould under the lower eaves of the wing. The attic floor has two 2-light casement windows incorporated as half dormers with scalloped bargeboards to the gables.

The interior, which was unavailable for resurvey, is reported to contain several 'Tudor' arches and remains of a stone spiral stair.
