Erw Wen And Attached Garden Walls

Erw Wen is a house with attached garden walls, built in the late 18th century, with a 20th-century addition. The structure features thin courses of squared sandstone, large quoins, and painted tooled ashlar dressings. The roof is made of thin artificial slates that mimic Welsh slate, complemented by stone gable copings and brick chimneys. The house is two storeys high with three windows. The central entrance has a renewed four-panel door with a three-pane overlight, all set in a painted tooled stone surround. The flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills of the renewed sashes with glazing bars also exhibit similar tooling. The low-pitched roof includes a stone eaves gutter supported by widely spaced stone brackets, plain stone gable copings, and corniced end chimneys. The rear elevation features a French window and an outshut that was added around 1970. The garden walls, which are four meters high and flank the front of the house, run north and south from the gables and are constructed from stone and quoins that match the house. A low wall encloses a rectangular garden in front, featuring a central renewed wrought-iron gate. The left high wall continues along the south and east boundary of the rear garden. Inside, there is a dogleg stair with block tread ends and stick balusters.
