Adjoining raised Terrace to Eof Glan-y-Mawddach

This is a two-storey villa dating from the 18th century, situated alongside a raised terrace overlooking the Mawddach estuary. The villa is of an irregular plan and is constructed with dressed, coursed stone facings, topped with a hipped, shallow-pitched slate roof with oversailing eaves. Large rendered chimneys feature plain capping and chimney pots. The main entrance is on the two-bay north side, marked by a stone architrave with a moulded cornice and a recessed, multi-panel glazed door, likely from the 20th century. To the left of the entrance is a tall two-light window with a three-tier sash arrangement and an architrave matching the entrance. Two elegant sash windows with 12 panes each are on the first floor. To the right of the entrance, a recessed bay has single sash windows with similar glazing on both floors. The long east side, which faces the estuary, is divided into three sections, with the central one slightly projecting. This section has two fifteen-pane sashes to the left, a further twelve-pane sash above, all with projecting slate sills. A two-storey canted bay is in the central section, featuring plain sash glazing and a moulded string course between the ground and first floors. The right-hand section has two twelve-pane sashes to the first floor, and a large rectangular projecting bay below with tripartite sash glazing. The rear (west) side is triple-gabled, with plain bargeboards and sash windows. A two-storey service wing is attached to the south, featuring two part-glazed panelled doors on its east face and twelve-pane sashes above. This wing faces a small service court and connects to a further, single-storey service range, slightly advanced, which has sixteen-, nine- and four-pane windows and three boarded doors. A single-storey stone loggia/conservatory adjoins the house to the southeast, backing onto the service court to the west. It is distinguished by five round-headed arched openings, flat dividing pilasters with plain abaci, glazed French windows with radiating glazed fans, and a glazed atrium-type roof.

Adjoining the house on its east side, and terminating at the loggia to the south, is a long raised terrace with a balustraded parapet overlooking the estuary. A high rubble retaining wall supports the terrace, partially built on rock and buttressed at the southern end, where it meets the terrace and loggia. The wall turns southwards and is joined by a steep flight of cement steps leading from the upper service court down to a garage/coach yard. A polished slate dedication plaque with a Latin inscription, the initials AK and JK, and the date 1910 is set into the centre of the main section of the retaining wall. The balustrade incorporates banded piers of cement and ruabon brick with turned terracotta balusters and cement coping. Eight classical terracotta urns surmount the balustrade, and five urns made of reconstituted stone stand on similar pedestals, flanking the paved terrace to the west. At the north end, a further urn stands on a pedestal, positioned centrally within a yew topiary arc. Three further ceramic urns are found on a raised plinth along the east side of the house.
