Pengwern Hall (Pengwern College)

A stuccoed mansion painted cream with dressings in a darker cream colour; the walls are said to be stone with brick facing; slate roofs of low pitch concealed behind parapets. Numerous brick chimneys. Despite losses much of the original form remains. The main block facing S is of 3-storeys and 1+3+1 windows, with a 3-bay pediment over giant Ionic pilasters and a rusticated ground storey. The left flank of the main block survives to 3-storeys (the top storey a dummy, the second storey with a Palladian window) but the right flank is now only single storey. To the left of the main block is a canted 2-storey 3-window wing, and to the right a similar wing reduced to one storey. Twelve-pane sash-windows generally; restored 6-pane windows in top storey. The rear (N) elevation also consists of a main 3-storey block with a pedimented centre, flanks and wings, irregularly fenestrated but retaining many sash windows. The right wing is of 2-storeys, with Palladian windows above and below. The W elevation is also pedimented at centre, and retains 3 sash windows above and one below. The E side of the building is irregular, terminating in a group of single storey outbuildings fronting the approach drive to the Hall.

Large entrance hall with a staircase at its rear, rising right to left against the rear wall, with decorative iron balustrade, probably post-dating the fire of 1864. In the front and rear rooms of the W wing are original plaster cornices and at front an Adamesque central ceiling feature.
