Talhenbont

The house is built of rubble stonework with ashlar dressings and slate roofs with imposed slate copings. Two storeys, cellar and attics. The plan consists of a hall range with W cross wing, entered now by a wide gabled C19 porch on the wing leading to a parlour, passing through to the great hall with lateral stack. Extensions of the C19 on the NE corner, with a service wing extending to the N. Plinth with ogee moulding around hall and wing. The S door of the hall, in the angle with the wing, has ogee moulded jambs rising to a Tudor arch, with a label moulding over, turned up at the ends and framing the initials WV. Stone ovolo-mullioned windows throughout, 4-light and transomed to the hall, 2- and 3-light above, some restored, and similar windows on the wing. The elevation of the wing consists of a large central gable with terminal stack representing the original end gable of the hall range, extended each side. Mullioned and transomed windows with leaded glazing on the NE side. Stone bracketed eaves. The added narrow rear wing parallel to the hall projects to the E, and is whitewashed with raised joints, with further additions under a hipped slate roof. On the N front, a modern coat of arms with a motto NON NOBIS NAIT. Tall square chimneys with moulded caps.

The main hall has a fine lateral arched fireplace with a voussoir hood and central shield of arms. Above, in the wall, a larger stone coat of arms bearing quarterly Collwyn ap Tangno, Osborn Wyddel, and Ednyfed fychan, 1607, all supported on colonnettes, probably C19, with stiff-leaf capitals. Four main slightly chamfered plain cross beams probably originally with an underdrawn ceiling. Good C19 encaustic tiled floor. The entrance parlour has C17 oak panelling, restored, with an arcaded top frieze and a small arched fireplace on the S gable end.
