Plas y Coed

Plas y Coed is a High Victorian Gothic-style building, dating from the 19th century. The main range is two storeys high with attics, and faces east-west with its entrance on the north side. The building is constructed of irregularly coursed rubblestone, with Anglesey limestone ashlar quoins and dressings. The main stonework on the south front is rock-faced, except for the right gable. It has a slate roof with coped verges, gabled kneelers, and stone crosses to the apexes.

The north front is an asymmetrical composition of seven bays, with full-height gables on the left and outer right bays. Most windows are 2- or 4-paned sashes in stone surrounds, some forming mullioned and transomed windows. The recessed entrance features a 9-panel door within a Tudor-arched doorway with overlight, and a dummy balcony with balustrade is positioned above it. A trefoil-shaped window lights the attic of the inner gable, and there are two gabled dormers in the three-bay section. The chimneys are a prominent feature, with semi-external stacks on the gable ends of the outer gables, and five irregularly spaced stacks along the ridges and roof slopes. Cast-iron hopper heads are dated 1878.

The south (garden) front is similar in style, but with a more ordered arrangement of six bays. Full-height gables are again found on the left and outer bays. The right gable has a two-storey canted bay window with a sloped slate roof, and a prominent external stack to the right. A slate-roofed verandah with three timberwork trefoil arches spans three tall French windows with single horizontal glazing bars. The left gable has a truncated end stack, with a 20th-century fire escape against the return.

Inside, a dog-leg staircase in the hall has two pointed arches with painted floral capitals to the lower flight, which is panelled on the sides. The hall features an encaustic tile floor and original fireplace. The principal ground-floor rooms facing the garden retain their cornices; one has been sub-divided, and the larger former drawing room on the east side also has an elaborate, classical-style fireplace. Six-panelled doors are present throughout.
