Description

Plas Hyfryd is a late-Georgian, three-storey, three-bay house featuring scribed render walls, a slate roof, and roughcast stacks at each end. The central entrance has a recessed doorway flanked by fluted columns, which were likely intended for a pediment but were not originally placed here. The entrance includes a double-leaf fielded-panel door and a radial-glazed overlight. The lower storey windows are 16-pane hornless sashes, while the middle storey has similar 16-pane windows on the right and left, and a narrower central 12-pane hornless sash window. The upper storey features 6-pane sash windows. On the right gable end, there is a re-set tablet dated 1707.

The rear of the house is constructed of rubble stone. It has a central 12-pane horned sash window in the lower storey, replacing an earlier doorway, with a similar window in the middle storey and a 9-pane hornless sash window in the upper storey. The left side of the rear wall is lower, consisting of two storeys with the upper storey set well back. The lower storey has a small-pane window, and above it is a 12-pane horned sash window inserted into a wider opening.

To the right side is a two-storey rear wing made of rubble stone and topped with a slate roof, likely added in the 19th century to serve as a kitchen. This wing features a 16-pane horned sash window in the lower left, a replacement segmental-headed door to the right of centre, and a 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash window at the right end. The upper storey has 12-pane sash windows, with horned windows on the left and hornless on the right. Further to the left is a lower former two-storey cottage of rubble stone, which has recent replacement windows and a garage door inserted in the gable end.

Inside, the house is centrally planned, with an entrance vestibule that includes double doors and a round-headed radial-glazed overlight. Beyond the vestibule is a hall leading to a full-height geometric staircase with plain balusters and a wreathed handrail. The room on the right side retains its original ceiling cornice, although it is poorly preserved. The main rooms still feature panelled doors and shutters.
