History

1770s service building; erected for Richard Parry Esq., High Sheriff of Denbighshire in 1775, as part of a general remodelling of the hall and its outbuildings. The building appears always to have had a domestic function

Near-symmetrical facade with slightly-advanced and pedimented 2-bay central section. This has near-flush 12-pane, unhorned sash windows to the ground floor. The left-hand section has a similar window with adjacent outer entrance, the latter with part-glazed modern door. The right-hand section has a blocked-up former window with small modern opening and a modern window in reduced opening beyond. The first floor has 2-light 8-pane sashes; all openings have cambered heads. Of the flanking pavilion wings, that to the L has a segmentally-arched cart entrance with C20 boarded doors, whilst that to the R has a modern window in a reduced primary opening.

The rear elevation has similar, though flat-headed first floor windows, with a recessed upper entrance to the third bay. This has a panelled door with rectangular overlight and an external wooden stair access. Segmentally-headed openings to the ground floor with glazing as before.
