In 1907 Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, the renowned Arcihitect who created Portmeirion, built a two storey wing to the side in the 'Wrenaissance' style with leaded cross windows and a hipped roof and cupola which lights the dressing room to the master-bedroom. The original character of the house has been preserved with high ceilings, south-facing sash windows, original fire places and flooring. On the west elevation and on the site left for a sundial Williams-Ellis erected a plaque which reads 'This stone was laid for a dial dressed in vain alas it looks due west.
