Plas-y-Nant

Plas-y-Nant is a storeyed gentry house built in the rustic Gothick style, constructed of roughcast brick with a slate roof that is hipped to the west. The building features oversailing eaves with plastered soffits and a sandstone ashlar plinth. There are two plain rendered chimneys with simple cornicing and 19th-century pots.

The main northern facade is nearly symmetrical and consists of five bays. The central entrance has a deeply-recessed 18th-century six-panel door with panelled reveals. Plain tripartite wooden pilasters support a narrow entablature topped with a Chinoiserie-style pediment. The ground floor windows are pointed-arched 12-pane (unhorned) sashes, with intersecting tracery glazing bars at the heads; the windows on either side of the entrance are closely positioned. The first floor features similar windows, each with six panes.

The west end of the house has a canted two-storey bay with a hipped roof and windows matching those on the ground floor. There is a 20th-century glazed door in the centre of this bay, which was formerly a window. The rear of the house includes a 20th-century pane sash window on the first floor and modern French doors on the ground floor, flanked by small-pane casements. Three modern flat-roofed dormers are present in the attic.

Adjoining the east side is a single-storey modern rendered addition, which features intersecting tracery windows that mimic those of the main house.

Inside, there is a mid-18th-century oak dogleg stair leading to the hall, characterized by delicately-turned balusters and a moulded rail that sweeps up to square, panelled newels. The hall and stairs are adorned with dado panelling and wide, moulded architraves surrounding six-panel doors. Early 19th-century plasterwork cornices with Gothic corbelling can be found in the entrance hall and drawing room. The former kitchen has small-field panelling dating from around 1900, which is a recent addition.
