Plas yn Dre

Plas yn Dre is a 2-storey house that dates back to 1823, as indicated by a former tablet over the entrance that read 'Rebuilt by C Jones 1823'. It is part of a group that includes Bron y gaer and Bron y gaer Mews, with Bron y gaer being the earlier building, likely from the late 18th century.

The house features a symmetrical design with three windows and advanced gabled outer bays. It is constructed from grey stone ashlar laid in diminishing courses and topped with slate roofs. The end stacks are made of brick and have saw-tooth bands, with the northern stack being external. The gables are adorned with stone copings on moulded kneelers and finials.

The narrow central bay includes a castellated stone porch that is accessed by stone steps. The porch has a chamfered Tudor-arched doorway made of stone voussoirs, which contains part-glazed double panelled doors under a fanlight with gothic intersecting glazing. The windows are 2-light small-pane wooden casements set in chamfered stone architraves, with hoodmoulds above; the ground floor windows are larger.

On the southern side of the house, there is a brick section featuring a 16-pane hornless sash window under a segmental head on the far left, beyond a dog-leg joint. This section has a stone plinth from Bron y gaer but lower eaves than Plas yn Dre. There is also a cellar window to the right with a segmental head. The northern side and rear of the house are made of roughly coursed stone. The rear includes a gabled wing on the left, which has a 16-pane hornless sash window on the ground floor and a late 20th-century wooden cross-window on the upper storey, both under a segmental head of stone voussoirs. There is a truncated lateral brick stack to its right.

To the right of the gabled wing, there is a brick wing that connects to Bron y gaer. In the center, between the wings, there is a late 20th-century 2-storey lean-to that includes a panelled door and small lights on the ground floor, as well as French doors with small-pane glazing on the first floor, leading out to a steel balcony with open railings that runs along the length of the rear elevation.

The interior of the building has not been seen.
