Description

Plas-yn-Dre is a large, two-and-a-half storey former town house, likely dating back to the late 18th or early 19th century. It is constructed of rendered local rubble with raised stucco quoins and window surrounds, and has a tall, hipped slate roof with a tiled ridge. Chimneys have been removed. The symmetrical facade has three bays, with the central bay slightly projected and featuring a tripartite entrance arrangement: a central six-panel door is flanked by small-pane windows, all surmounted by further small-pane windows. A large, canted open porch projects in front of the entrance, supported by bracketed wooden posts and featuring a balcony with flat, shaped balusters and a plain rail. The first-floor window in the central bay is a cross-window with small-pane upper and plain lower lights. A similar window is located on the second floor, beneath the eaves. The outer bays have two-storey canted bay windows with moulded cornices and three-light transmullioned wooden windows. Dormer windows with cross-windows are located in the gabled hips of the canted bay windows, breaking the eaves.

At the rear, a two-storey central projection has a hipped roof and four-pane and two-pane plain sash windows. Modern single-storey additions flank this projection on both sides. The upper floors of the main block have six-pane sash windows, with the first-floor windows having segmental heads. The northeast (right) elevation has external railed steps leading to a first-floor porch with small-pane glazing and a hipped roof. Low slate stone forecourt walls run along the front and left return, surmounted by spear-headed railings.

Inside, the entrance hall features a polychromed tiled floor and a Regency staircase with stick balusters, a painted rail with scrolled ends, and doorways with wide, moulded Regency architraves, panelled reveals, and six-panel doors. One room includes a small, exposed fireplace with rough stone voussoirs forming a segmental arch. A window with panelled shutters and a window seat, with a matching architrave, is located to the left of the fireplace, and to the right is a late Georgian, segmentally-arched niche with fluted pilasters and archivolt. The remainder of the interior has been modernised.
