Extant Building
1822, greatly extended and partly engulfed in 1856-7. Ashlar with Welsh slate
roofs of moderate pitch. The south-western corner shows the original two-storey
house with plain wide sash windows and a French door on west front. (A later
conservatory built alongside). The rest of the house is later, of an ornamental
quasi-Jacobean character having coped gables with kneelers and stone chimneys with
hexagonal corniced shafts; and a very irregular outline. On the west front, the
two left bays are of this character, one being a two-storey gabled porch with a
blank shield and inscription LAUS DEO. Tripartite chamfered windows, some with
latticed iron casements. To the north, various projections of one and two storeys
and more windows of different sizes with latticed casements. Raised quoins to all
angles. On east elevation some rubble stonework partly rendered. LISTED GRADE 2
