Exterior
East Range
The east elevation is continuous with the end of the north range and has two distinct builds. In the centre, adjoining the north range is a unit three bays long and two storeys high with a south-east quoin which projects slightly beyond the wall to the south. Its roof line is also higher and has a parapeted south gable. A large chimney stack is inset over 1m from this end wall. Like all the others on the older part of the house this is a 20th century rebuild in purplish brick with limestone dressings and all roofs are covered in Welsh slate. The range is built of red sandstone rubble, weathered towards the base, and set in red loam with white inclusions, overpointed in 20th century cement. Dressings are Ham stone and the quoin is squared rubble with occasional ashlar towards the top. There is a chamfered basal plinth course and a continuous string course which acts as a drip mould; both are returned onto the south elevation and are truncated by the adjoining build. The plinth moulding respects the doorway on the south-east corner. This has a chamfered surround with a four-centred head and an old wooden door with moulded ribs and ornamental studs. It is surmounted by a relieving arch. Above the door is a small two-light window with rebated chamfered moulding and a relieving arch set above the string. There is a second window of the same type on the first floor. The four large six-light windows to the north are 20th century replacements of sash windows. Relieving arches indicate that the lower windows are in old positions; these were truncated when the sashes were first installed in the upper windows and the cills lowered.
The south end of the range has a nearly symmetrical triple-gabled elevation of four bays. It is built of rather greyer sandstone rubble in a matrix of white-flecked red loam. There is a well-defined vertical straight joint in the valley between the central and south gables and another less clear joint with the north gable on the line of the downpipe. It has a variety of windows: all those on the first floor are 20th century replacements of 18th century sash windows. Their predecessors in the two end bays had relieving arches. The three gable windows are original to the build; the outer pair has arched lights, the central window is square headed with a hood mould and has ovolo-moulded mullions of the type copied in the 20th century. On the ground floor the north window has four lights, rebated hollow chamfered mouldings, a returned hood mould and a relieving arch cut by the lowering of the cill above. In the centre is a pair of three light wooden windows with hollow-chamfered pegged oak frames under classically-moulded stone hoods without relieving arches. The south window is a mid 20th century insertion with crudely formed cement jambs.
