Exterior
The building, which is in a simplified domestic Gothic style externally, is constructed with dark coloured snecked rock-faced greywacke from Snowdonia, margin dressed to the openings and lintels, and slate roofs. Two storeys and attics. There are two main elevations, the S elevation over the C19 gardens comprising two similar shouldered gables separated by a recessed centre section, all with a continuous lean-to verandah over the raised ground floor. Plate glass windows, 2-light in the gables and cross windows to the ground floor. On the right, a modern single storey with attic section set back, with a very large bay window to the principal dining room. The entrance front facing a large courtyard drive on the W is more successful, designed with balanced asymmetry, with a recessed centre flanked by double gabled wings, and extended to the N by recessed timber-framed gable ends of the service range. The S front returns as the major gable, and has the verandah on the ground floor, a smaller gable on its left, and, set back, the main hall range connected by a curved glazed section with a glazed roof over the main entrance. To its left, two similar gabled sections, one with a first floor square bay. Above the entrance, and above the recessed section the first floor has narrow plate glass sash windows, a parapet and, behind, the glazed clerestory of the central great hall, with its own hipped roof. To the rear, extensive service buildings, many timber framed and gabled to provide a picturesque outline, including two framed gables on the main block.
