Porth y Castell

Porth y Castell is an asymmetrically planned Arts and Crafts house, built as a single storey with attics on the left and a two-storey cross-wing at the upper right end. The walls are pebble-dashed rendered, and the roof is covered with small green slates, featuring broadly projecting wood-bracketted eaves and verges, along with a red-brick end wall and axial stacks.

The left range has a large hipped roof that extends forward over a central, double-fronted verandah. The right side of the verandah is now enclosed with walling at the lower part and has a large paned light at the front, while the left side remains open with railings made of shaped splats and stick balusters. Side windows consist of paired sashes with small-paned upper lights. To the right of the verandah, there is a similarly detailed window and a recessed entrance at the far right. To the left of the verandah, there is a bay window with four small-paned sash lights.

In the roof, there are two dormers, each featuring paired two-light casement windows with segmentally pedimented heads. The left gable return has windows similar to those on the sides of the verandah, including a single centrally placed light and a paired light at the rear. The gabled wing on the right has projecting verges over a jettied apex above a canted oriel window with five lights, as well as a canted ground-floor bay with seven small-paned lights.

The right return features a single-storey gabled verandah set at right angles to the left end, with a small-paned light positioned under the eaves above and a canted ground-floor bay containing five small-paned casement lights to the right. A central chimney stack has a wide rectangular base and raking sides that form the front of a gabled dormer, with the tall square stack continuing above.
