Description

Cilgwyn is a late Georgian house that is symmetrical, three stories high, and has three bays. It features painted pebble-dashed walls over rubble stone, a graded slate roof with a moulded eaves cornice, and a brick stack on the left side that is partially rendered. The central doorway is framed by a wooden doorcase with Tuscan pilasters, a half-lit panelled door, and a radial-glazed wrought-iron fanlight. The windows are set in late 19th-century architraves and consist of 12-pane hornless sashes with thin glazing bars on the lower and middle storeys. The upper storey has a 6-pane horned sash window on the left, while the central and right-hand windows are boarded over.

On the right side of the rear, there is a small-pane sash window on the lower storey. The original layout of the house has been preserved, featuring a central stair hall with principal rooms on the right and left. The dog-leg stair has plain balusters, turned newels, and moulded tread ends.

Local climate

Cilgwyn sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,370 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
