History

Built by Joseph Hansom and Edward Welch, architects of York, and completed by 1833. Hansom referred to it as the 'trainer's' or 'jockey's' house, as it was occupied by the chief trainer employed at the stables at Baron Hill. The house is shown in an engraving of Beaumaris by Hugh Jones, dated 1843, and on the 1861 town plan.

Exterior

A late Georgian house of 2 storeys and attic, and 4 bays, of limestone ashlar with moulded stone cornice and parapet, slate roof with brick stack to the R and roughcast stack to the L. The front is dominated by its wide bay window carried up above the eaves (an addition replacing a slightly narrower original bay window shown in 1843), of roughcast over a freestone plinth band. It has replacement 5-light and 6-light windows, and moulded cornices above and below the attic window. The 3 bays to the L form a near symmetrical elevation and have openings under tripartite lintels. The entrance has a replacement panel door and overlight, with two 12-pane hornless sash windows to its L. A first-floor balcony is on plain cast-iron posts, has replacement balustrade and has an added central projection. It conceals an upper-storey sill band. The upper storey has a central glazed door flanked by 12-pane hornless sash windows. Two flat roof dormers have 3-light windows.

In the rendered R gable end, the lower storey is splayed beneath a deep corbel table at the angle with the front elevation. The lower storey has boarded garage doors. The upper storey and attic have inserted windows.

Interior

Not inspected.
