Mynachdy

Mynachdy is a two-storey gentry house, likely dating to the late 17th century, with a long, seven-window main block and wings to the rear creating a U-shaped plan. It is constructed of rubble masonry, rendered and limewashed, with boulder foundations. The roof is covered in thin slates, and features rendered gable and axial stacks with dripstones and capping. The principal east-facing elevation has a seven-window range divided into two sections: three windows on the left (south) and four windows on the right (north). A French door is located at the left end of the four-window section, with a large axial chimney above it. The windows are 12-pane hornless sashes, though many have been replaced with modern uPVC frames. The rear (west) wall of the main block has three windows of varying sizes, mostly modern, and a modern French door offset to the left (north) end.

A service wing is positioned behind the three-window section. Its south-facing elevation presents a two-window range with a French door on the left (west). The service wing features modern uPVC windows and door, with slate sills. The gable return has two windows on each floor; the left (north) windows are at a higher level, likely indicating the staircase position within. A Venetian window is located on the ground floor left side, with subsequent 12-pane hornless sashes to the right and above, the remaining window being a modern replacement. The north elevation has a rear entrance offset to the left (east) end, accessed through a modern half-glazed lean-to porch/conservatory set into the angle with the rear of the main block; a modern window sits above.

An additional wing extends at a right angle from the northwest corner of the main block, built into the sloping ground. The south elevation, facing the courtyard and service wing, has a three-window range with a glazed doorway offset to the left (west), and features a mix of 12-paned horned sashes and modern replacements. External steps at the west gable provide access to the north elevation, which displays a three-window range with a central doorway between the second and third window. This elevation also features 12-paned horned sashes with slate sills.

The interior was not inspected during the survey, but is reported by RCAHMW to have been modernised. It is said to contain panelled doors with moulded architraves and cornices in the living room and rear wing. Original oak wall panelling remains in the living room, along with an original fireplace featuring a bolection moulded architrave. There is a late 17th-century staircase with turned balusters, a moulded string, and panelled newels. Some chamfered beams are also present.
