Description

Bryngwenallt is a small country house built in the Gothic style. Constructed from snecked limestone, it is now partly pebbledashed and painted, featuring slate roofs accented with green fish-scale slates. The entrance is located beneath a tall, four-storey crenellated tower, which has double lancets at the top stage, along with a taller circular stair turret in the northern corner. The door is set behind a four-centred arch supported by granite nook shafts with limestone capitals. Above the entrance, there is a canted stone-framed oriel balcony.

The house features mullioned and transomed timber windows with external staff mouldings throughout. To the left of the entrance tower, the original wing has been replaced with an arcaded yard, while to the right, there is a two-storey and attic range that ends in a short wing with a five-light canted oriel window overlooking the garden, positioned above cross windows on the ground floor. The southeast garden elevation includes a canted window in the gabled second bay and a recessed and raised open timber verandah of four bays with a balcony on the first floor at the northeast end.

The gable end facing northeast, which contains the main drawing room, features a two-storey canted bay with cross plate glass windows, the top of which is crenellated under the gable. The northwest wing houses the grand stair, which includes stained glass in trefoil-headed lights within the third gable, as well as an open verandah that overlooks the garden. Although not accessible at the time of inspection in 1997, it is reported to retain a broad stone staircase.
