Description
Plas Uchaf is a three-storey house with a cellar, built from rubble masonry and dating from the mid-19th century. Its principal elevation faces the garden and features a moderately pitched slate roof with deep verges, while the rear, facing Meyrick Street, has a steeper pitch. An ashlar stack with grouped flues and a moulded cap is present.
The garden front has been raised to include three gablets adorned with ornate bargeboards. It features shallow upper sash windows with nine panes, and to the left, there are two-storey rectangular bay windows from the late 19th century, which include a four-light window and two opening casements in the centre. The first floor has a narrow eight-pane sash window in the centre and a twelve-pane sash window to the right, both with stone lintels. There is a closed porch on the ground floor to the right with a panelled door, and the central opening has been reduced to a four-pane window with a stone lintel.
The rear elevation facing Meyrick Street has two twelve-pane sash windows on the first floor, also with stone lintels, and shows evidence of lower sills. To the right, there is a mezzanine level stair window featuring sixteen small-paned sashes, and a larger twelve-pane sash window is located on the ground floor to the left. A central doorway with a stone lintel and a panelled door is present, along with a slate tablet above inscribed "PLASUCHA CHR 1852" (Childlaw Roberts). A cut cellar stair window is located at the extreme right, with another cellar opening below to the left.
Inside, the mid-19th century roof structure is notable, featuring an interesting dog leg stair with quatrefoil section rods, a scrolled newel, and pierced quatrefoil tread ends, with a floral motif in the centre. The hallway has been partly altered, showcasing Tudor arches and sunk panelled pilasters. Mid-19th century panelled doors and moulded architraves are present throughout. The former kitchen is located in the cellar, where a stump of a stop-chamfered beam and a stone flagged floor can be found.
