Dolaugwyn

The house is built of face dressed stone with slate roofs and stepped gables to both the original build and to the mid C17 additions. The entrance in the porch tower has a segmental voussoired arch with a decorative small arris rebate, above which, set in a recess formed by refacing, a shield with elementary strapwork bearing a blue lion rampant. Above, a 4-light mullioned and transomed ovolo-moulded window lights the first floor chamber. Above there is a second datestone reading AC 1820. The second floor of the porch tower is slightly jettied at the front on a continuous shallow ovolo corbel course. This has a 3-light mullioned window in the stepped gable. Two windows on the W of the porch, one blocked, with stone triangular-sectioned canopies on corbel brackets. The main range of the house has similar 4-light mullioned and transomed windows, with stone lintels and similar stone canopies. To the right of the porch, the attic floor has a 3-light window in a raised stepped gable. The SW gable end has 4-light similar windows to the ground and first floors, but two 2-light ovolo-moulded windows to the attic floor. The gable stack has been rebuilt. The rear elevation of the earlier section has a 3-storey stepped-gabled tower opposite the entrance, probably the original stair, and the original windows to the ground and first floor replaced by paned timber windows. External stack to the main hall.

The mid C17 additions include the square drawing room block, with 4-light windows matching the earlier design and a stepped gable facing NW, and an external stack on its E wall. Also added at this time the larger square stair tower with an asymmetrical stepped gable, its windows later altered to timber sash windows. Later additions include a rounded structure linking the early stair with the service end, and a single-storey service wing on the S side, further extended by a single bay lower structure with twin gable stacks.

The interior, not accessible at the date of inspection, is recorded as having a later passageway from the hall to the gable stair with access to the drawing room and kitchen. Good C17 open-well stair. The C17 dated decorative and heraldic figures are understood to still be in position.
