Llugwy Hall

Llugwy Hall is a large house, primarily dating to the 17th century, with a 19th-century extension. The earlier section comprises a north block, now visible as an entrance gable facing east. It is constructed of coursed stonework with quoins on later additions, and features red sandstone detailing. It has grey slate roofs. This three-story block incorporates a two-story forebuilding with a four-centred arch over studded oak entrance doors, the arch formed of regular cut voussoirs. Directly above the arch is a three-light transomed window in red sandstone, with arched upper lights, all beneath a moulded label. A crenellated parapet sits above. Behind the gable, arch-headed lancet windows are found on each of the two lower floors, either side of the forebuilding, all with well-formed flush arches, the first-floor windows being longer. Similar windows are located on the return sides of the forebuilding. Above the crenellated parapet is a three-light transomed window with a label head moulding, rising into a shaped Flemish-style gable, the arched head and kneelers crowned with ball finials. A flush stack is present on the north side of this range.

A 19th-century block extends south towards the river, consisting of a large, parallel three-story block. This section is articulated as three principal gables that repeat the Jacobean mullioned and transomed windows in red stone, with the floors separated by a moulded string course. The left (west) end bay is wider, featuring four-light windows. To its right is a narrower set-back link with a lower curved parapet, followed by a third gable projecting forward, also with three-light windows. The fourth gable, at the east end, similarly has three-light windows, along with a stone doorcase incorporating a stone-framed two-light overlight and panelled doors leading to the garden. The eastern return mirrors the detailing of the early entrance block. A steel fire escape is on the west return. A 20th-century extension to the north provides hotel accommodation.

The front door of the earlier section opens into a large, low hall featuring a lateral, ashlar-built fireplace with an arched head and pronounced keystone, set within a Jacobean-style carved surround, likely dating to the 19th century. The hall opens at the rear into a stair hall, containing an open-well stair of neo-Jacobean style that extends to the second floor, opening into a chamber with a section of stair, possibly a remnant of the original staircase.
