Plas-yn-rhos Old Farmhouse

Plas-yn-rhos is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the 18th and early 20th centuries. It comprises a main range and two cross-wings, along with a small west wing parallel to the main range, all rendered with roughcast and covered by slate roofs. The gables and larger dormers feature plain bargeboards; the smaller dormers on the west side are hipped. A large axial chimney is situated to the west of the main range, accompanied by three other roughcast chimneys. A modern glazed conservatory has been added to the west, alongside a tall metal flue attached to a nearby chimney.

The main range exhibits low eaves on both the front and rear, which are interrupted by two-storey gables added in an Arts and Crafts style. The north elevation showcases this addition, incorporating a first-floor, four-light, leaded window positioned above a parget panel featuring geometrical designs. The main entrance door is located to the right of this window, sheltered by a bracketed canopy, while a small modern window is situated to the left. A similar addition on the south elevation includes five similar lights at the first floor over a parget panel with lozenges, alongside a ground-floor mullion and transom window of five lights plus flanking lights.

The east wing features two nine-pane sash windows, one six-pane sash window, and a two-light casement on its west side, facing the entrance. The fenestration on the east side of this wing is irregular. A four-pane, horizontally-sliding sash window is found on the south gable, overlooking the garden. Ground-floor windows to the east and south are leaded, with decorative features centrally. The north gable has a door only.

The west wing presents four twelve-pane sash windows on its west side; one is now located behind the conservatory. The south gable of this wing contains a single, unequal-sash twelve-pane window, a casement window, a small single-light window, and a door, all irregularly placed.

The house is accessed on the north side, where a short corridor connects the wings and provides access to the stairs. One room in the north of the east wing is inaccessible from the interior. Notable interior features include a carved overmantel in the east wing, said to have originated from Plas Ashpool, displaying the initials DG and AG. This wing also features C18 panelling and ogee stops on the beams.

Inscribed dates are present on the building; "DG 1611" is inscribed over the entrance, though currently hidden behind the door, and "1594" with a Welsh inscription appears in the west wing. The house was undergoing interior renovation at the time of inspection.
