Description
This is a large, 18th-century townhouse, originally a single dwelling, which was later divided into two separate residences, likely in the second quarter of the 19th century, with subsequent modernization of the openings and the creation of side entrances. More recently, Plas-yn-Acre has undergone further modernization.
The building is constructed of rubble under a high hipped slate roof, featuring tall, panelled chimneys positioned centrally and to the sides. The symmetrical front elevation consists of four bays, with each of the two resulting dwellings occupying two bays. The windows of Plas Teg retain their original sash configuration, with fine glazing bars, whereas those of Plas-yn-Acre have been replaced with modern, out-of-character PVCu tilting windows. The ground floor central bays of each dwelling feature wooden canted bay windows, comprised of 20 panes in the main section and 10 panes on each side. The outer ground floor windows are of 20 panes, and the first floor windows are of 16 panes, with the upper floor windows consisting of 9 panes, all set within large, finialled gabled dormers displaying deep verges and moulded bargeboards.
Side entrances are fitted with panelled doors and reveals, and are accessed via open, flat-roofed porches supported by plain wooden pilasters. The rear elevation is similarly constructed and whitewashed, mirroring the upper floor window arrangement, with a later, modern first-floor entrance added to Plas-yn-Acre, incorporating a part-glazed door and a metal fire escape. Plas Teg features a later single-storey lean-to extension with a part-glazed door and flanking 6-pane windows, as well as a modern wooden conservatory to the left. The building sits within the group of Plas Teg and Plas-yn-Acre. The interior was not inspected during the survey.
