Description

The Owain Glyndwr Hotel is a late 18th-century building constructed from coursed and squared stone, which is painted. It features a hipped slate roof adorned with red tiled decorative cresting and finials. The late 19th-century wing has a similar roof but is roughcast rendered with smooth rendered dressings and some terracotta embellishments. The original 18th-century structure is two storeys high with attics and has a seven-window range with a central entrance accessed by steps. The entrance consists of paired doors topped with a radial fanlight, all set within a Corinthian portico porch. The ground floor has wood mullioned and transomed windows with small panes and cambered voussoir heads, while the first floor features 12-pane sash windows with flat arched heads. Above the doorway, there is a blind window space filled by a painted inn-sign. A moulded eaves band runs along the roofline, and there are three gabled dormers with 12-pane sash windows.

To the west, there is a later rear wing, and the late 19th-century block facing the street is also two storeys with an attic. This section has a four-window range with an entrance next to the original building. The ground floor features paired windows that are three-pane sashes with stained glass upper margin lights, while similar windows flank paired oriels on the first floor. The roof has paired gabled dormers on either side of a front wall stack. There is a parallel range at the rear, alongside the churchyard boundary, which may be a 20th-century addition replacing earlier structures.

Inside, the building retains several 18th-century features, including a fine staircase with scroll-moulded tread ends, turned balusters, newels, and a swept rail. There are also several six-panelled interior doors. In the rear of the 18th-century block, substantial ceiling timbers can be found, including the bressumer of a former fireplace and a chamfered spine beam and joists, which likely relate to an earlier building on the site that was remodelled around 1740.
