Description

Georgian House and the Coach House are similar buildings intended to frame the forecourt of Pengwern Hall, but they are not quite parallel to each other; by being built on slightly converging lines, they were probably intended to enhance the theatrical presence of the Hall which was their contemporary (a principle of Baroque planning). Georgian House is of 2 storeys and 5 windows, in Flemish bond brickwork with stone dressings, on a coarsely rendered and white painted plinth; a hipped slate roof with metal ridge and hip covers, and an hexagonal domed cupola. The centre bay is slighly advanced and is pedimented, with a small attic lunette. The doors and windows are fully stone dressed, the lower windows including a pulvinated frieze and cornice, the door with the same plus a pediment. Double main doors with iron studs. Six-pane hornless sash-windows above (that at centre is a 4-pane casement window), 12-pane similar below (one window is a similarly proportioned light with top-hung opener). Three storeys at rear; the centre 3 bays slightly advanced and pedimented, with the central row of windows recessed within an arch. Lunette window in the pediment, remains of Palladian window below. Large chimney stack over gable.

Rare example of a single-hand Georgian clock at front on the plinth of the cupola.
