Description
Wern y Wylan Court is an early 20th-century hotel that has undergone later 20th-century alterations and additions. The building exhibits rendered or timber-clad elevations with brick dressings and a green slate roof featuring a tiled ridge and large brick stacks. It is a notable example of the Arts and Crafts/neo-vernacular style, demonstrating a carefully considered plan, varied massing, and expressive use of materials and detailing.
The principal elevation, facing southeast, originally had a main entrance between semi-octagonal brick piers, now partially infilled, with a large three-light window with shallow lights at the head. Above this window is an embossed gutter featuring floriate bosses, alongside a hopper in an ogee pattern, a narrow light to the right, and a paired leaded light to the left. A hipped-roofed square water tower, which originally stored water for the entire complex, rises from the roof above the former entrance. The tower has modern casement windows and a flat-roofed dormer with modern windows to the left and a smaller dormer with paired casements to the right. Flanking the former entrance are slightly advanced gable bays; the right bay features small-paned casements, while the left bay is timber-clad with ground-floor small-paned casement windows, and a modern light in the gable apex. A further advanced bay to the far left features coloured margin pane detailing in leaded lights, modern first-floor windows, and a modern timber porch.
A later main entrance was created within a gabled bay on the northeast elevation. An advanced bay with small-paned casement windows is situated to the left. The water tower above has a painted "blind" window at the head and a small diamond light to the right. The entrance is accessed through a broach-stop chamfered arch of two orders, with weathered motifs including a portcullis at the head of the arch. Above the entrance is a canted oriel window with small-paned casements. To the right of the entrance are two hipped gable dormers with small-paned casement windows; the ground floor has an original three-light casement window to the right and a modern three-light window to the left. An advanced gabled wing at the far right has modern windows and an entrance with a brick surround in the southeast angle.
The rear (northwest) elevation features a modern glazed conservatory to the left of a massive shouldered brick stack. To the right is a four-window range of modern lights designed to resemble the original small-paned casements. The southwest elevation has been modernised with contemporary windows. Advanced gabled wings are present at both ends, with two wings on the right; one has a canted oriel window, and the other an advanced ground floor with modern French windows and a patio.
The interior has been modernised and replanned to provide several independent holiday flats, but retains some original brick fireplaces and moulded coving.
