History edit

The house was built in 1878–79 for Hon. George T. Kenyon, the younger son of the 3rd Baron Kenyon. It was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas.[1] A kitchen wing was added in the 20th century.[2]

Architecture edit

It is entirely half-timbered on a plinth of Ruabon red brick.[1] The bricks for the chimneys and the roof tiles are also from Ruabon. The house is in two storeys and consists of a hall with cross wings, and a two-storeyed porch in the angle of one of the wings. Internally there is a gallery encircling the hall.[2]
