Carreglwyd

C17 to C18 gentry house, in simple Georgian style. 2- storeys with attics; house comprises main range and return wing housing principal rooms, with service accommodation in additional wings to rear. Built of local rubble masonry, with pebbledashed render to principal elevations. Slate roof and ridge tiles; tall rectangular ridge and gable stacks, with coupled square shafts to main range. The principal elevation overlooks the garden and lake and faces SE, a long 7-window range with 5 hipped dormers within the roof aligned between the main window bays. Sash windows throughout, mainly 12-pane, but with longer 15-pane windows to ground floor; horizontal sliding sashes to attic dormers. Central entrance in moulded wood architrave, with rectangular fanlight with radial glazing over panelled door. Return elevation to left (SW) comprises a similarly detailed 5-bay range. At the NE end of, and set back from the principal elevation is a similarly detailed one bay addition; this has a hipped roof with hipped dormers to front and rear, the roof carried down as a catslide roof over a single storey addition to the NE, a later lean-to addition along the rear (NW) wall. There are 2 other wings to the rear of the main house, 2-storey with hipped and half-hipped roofs, sash windows throughout. The elevations to the rear of the house unrendered, and there is a lead cistern against the rear wall of the house with the initials I M G and the date 1763.

The central entrance in the SE front opens against the main stack of the C17 hall; staircase at rear of hall, dining room to its right, and sitting room and library to left appear to date from the C18 remodelling of the house with contemporary detail, though the ground plan of the hall, its fireplace and ceiling plasterwork, are likely to be C17. Fine staircase with wreathed handrail and moulded risers returned at stringed moulded cornices. Good plaster work and joinery in other ground floor rooms including panelled doors, window shutters, reveals and soffits; fine fireplaces in dining room and sitting room.
