Carreg Plas

Carreg Plas is a gentry house, likely originating in the 17th century and significantly altered in the 18th century. The house is constructed of rubble stone, rendered and partly whitewashed, with steep-pitched slate roofs and three stacks along the main ridge. The western side features stone, while the ridge and eastern side are rendered. A two-storey and attic north entrance front has a double-gabled wing projecting to the right, which is part of the 18th-century addition. To the left of this wing is the original 17th-century section, a two-window arrangement with two small hipped dormers above, and a single, similar window and door below. The windows are 12-pane sashes, and the door is a half-glazed example with marginal glazing bars, all appearing to be from the early 19th century. Two narrow sashes are present on the first floor of the left-end wall. The south front is whitewashed and rendered, with two similar hipped dormers. A projecting 20th-century stair gable mimics the lines of the original, which did not project. A four-pane attic window sits above, alongside two eight-pane sashes at landing height. Large 12-pane sashes are placed on the ground floor, not evenly spaced, along with two similar sashes to the first floor left of the gable, suggesting a late 18th or early 19th century alteration. To the left is the added 18th-century house, roughly the same scale. The south front of this section is whitewashed rubble stone, with two matching hipped dormers and a three-window front offset to the right. It features three first-floor 12-pane sashes over a 20-pane sash, a door, and another 12-pane sash. The door is set within a 20th-century rendered hipped porch. A small four-pane light is present on each floor of the left side of the facade. The west wall is of rubble stone. The rear of this section has a double-gabled northwest wing, possibly an 18th-century stair wing that was doubled in size during the later 19th century. Facing over the entrance court, the east side has 12-pane sashes matching those on the main north front, one above and two below. The north end has a single-window range within the added right gable. The original 17th-century section has a two-room plan, with a partition inserted inside the front door creating a passage. The eastern end room features a moulded plaster cornice. The enclosed stair has turned balusters, a closed string, and turned column newels, partly renewed, likely from the mid-18th century. A room to the right also has a moulded cornice. Some two-panel doors lead to the first floor. The 18th-century house to the west was internally altered in the 19th century to serve as kitchens, and the stair parallel to the rear wall is probably 19th-century and not in its original position. A wide west end fireplace, now covered, is present. The northwest wing contains a large, 19th-century room with a slate fireplace.
