Description

An L-shaped house comprising a 2-storey 3-bay main house facing N, and a rear service wing on the W side, the rear part of which is now a separate dwelling (Llwyn Helen). The main house is a symmetrical Regency style villa of scribed render with a hipped slate roof on wide panelled and bracketed eaves, with stacks to the L and R and to the rear wing. A lean-to veranda is on cast iron posts and has a replaced roof. The central bay has double half-lit panelled doors with margin glazing and fluted surround. To the L and R are small-pane sash windows continued to ground level, in canted bays. The upper storey has 12-pane hornless sash windows.

The R side wall has a 12-pane segmental-headed sash window upper R, an inserted window upper L and added conservatory in the lower storey. The rear wing further R is set back slightly from the main range. In the upper storey it has a 12-pane hornless sash window with 4-pane casement to the R and inserted French doors in the lower storey (the wing continues further as Llwyn Helen). The L side wall has inserted windows in each storey. The rear has 12-pane horned sashes to the R and a narrow 8-pane sash to the stair window in the angle with the rear wing. The rear wing has a 12-pane sash window upper R, a small casement upper L and lean-to below.

The entrance vestibule has a classical plaster cornice and a doorway under a neo-classical iron overlight with elliptical glazing pattern leading to the stair hall. The open-well stair has turned balusters and newels. The room to the L has a late C19 fireplace with fluted Ionic pilasters, and an elliptical-arched niche to the rear wall. The rooms R and L have classical plaster ceiling cornices. Panelled doors with thin vertical ribs are retained in the lower storey.
