House. C18. Rendered brick with stone quoins; Welsh slate roof. Simple block
plan. 2 storeys; 5 windows, having lost glazing bars, with architraves: central
6-panelled door in architrave with brackets and pediment; band at first floor cill
level. Mansard- roof has stone coping on moulded kneelers; 4 end brick chimneys.

miners soon after the Association was founded in 1894, but has since returned to
private occupation. Recording was carried out by TWM in 2008 ahead of proposed renovation work. ASUD conducted a Phase 2 recording of the building in 2010. A number of decorative and utilitarian features were recorded including plaster cornices, painted wall decoration, former cellar windows and a kitchen range with cylindrical oven. The recording was carried out ahead of a conversion to residential use.

Ornamental gardens including a lake were laid out in front of the south elevation and approached by a sweeping set of stone steps. The grounds are bounded by a brick and stone wall (HER 9610). The original 19th century setted road leading to the walled garden and the time-worn fissured stone flagging in front of the coach house survives. The ornamental garden has been subdivided into individual plots. There are timber stables and paddocks on the former lawn. The lake has gone.
