Rhondda House

Rhondda House is an early 19th-century villa, likely designed by Philip Sambell for Josephus Ferris, who was developing the area. The building is constructed with rendered and stuccoed elevations, featuring a dry Delabole slate roof with wide eaves, pierced clay ridge tiles, and brick end stacks. It has a rectangular, double-depth plan with two reception rooms flanking a central hall at the front, and a 20th-century wing extending from the left side.

The symmetrical west street front has three windows and a wide, elliptical-arched central doorway. The doorway has vermiculated rustication and a 20th-century glazed door, along with an original fanlight above. The windows are probably original hornless sashes with glazing bars, set under shallow segmental arches, with margin lights on the ground floor and 16-pane sashes on the first floor. The left-hand return wall displays the remains of a fluted pilaster. The first floor has three windows in moulded architraves; the left window is an original 12-pane sash, while the other two are blind openings. Widely-spaced brackets support the eaves. The interior of the building has not been inspected but is likely to contain features of interest.
