Llanrhydd Hall

Llanrhydd Hall is a medium-sized gabled country house of irregular plan, constructed from rendered brick with a timber-framed core. The building is roofed in slate with oversailing verges and plain bargeboards finished with wooden finials; brick chimneys feature paired, off-set stacks. The house occupies a complex composition across multiple wings and sections.

The entrance front comprises a main two-and-a-half storey section to the right with a short two-storey gabled wing projecting to the left, and beyond this a recessed range that is flush with (though marginally lower than) the main section. The front entrance sits within this recessed range and consists of an Edwardian six-panel part-glazed door sheltered by a flat-roofed open porch supported on wooden pillars. Flanking the entrance are 20th-century windows, with a narrow multi-pane example to the right. To the right of these is a first-floor sash window of second-quarter 19th-century date with 12 panes and unhorned jambs. Above is a smaller similar window lighting the attic floor, contained within a broad gable rising flush with the facade. A further 12-pane sash appears above the entrance.

The projecting left wing has a modern truncated gable end with five-part modern casement windows to ground and first floors. Its right return contains an Edwardian six-pane casement window within a shallow projecting architrave, with a 12-pane 19th-century sash above contained within a gabled dormer. The left return of this wing has a 20th-century secondary entrance within a single-storey porch addition extending along its length. The lower left wing has modern two- and four-part casement windows; a modern garage and single-storey link block adjoin to the left.

The south side displays a three-bay main section with a broad gabled wing projecting slightly to the left. This wing features a large nine-pane early 20th-century window with a central garden door and narrow flanking three-pane windows. Above are a pair of 19th-century sashes as described, with a smaller one in the gable apex. The main section's right-hand bays show similar fenestration to ground and first floors, with a two-storey early 20th-century water-closet projection set into the angle between them and the advanced gable. This projection has multi-pane windows of Arts and Crafts character to both floors.

The rear elevation comprises a main range to the right with two projecting gabled wings advanced to the left. The leftmost wing is the most advanced and contains large nine-pane windows to each floor. The other gabled projection has two-light second-quarter 19th-century Gothic windows with iron frames and arched heads to the lights, positioned at first and attic floors. The ground floor is occupied by a flat-roofed early 20th-century L-shaped projection returning around the side of the former gabled wing, featuring four-light leaded windows. The two-bay main section at the right has 20th-century nine-pane and 19th-century 12-pane sash windows.

Internally, the entrance hall contains a stairwell with main rooms to the right and services to the left. Exposed timber-framing survives to the ground floor, rising from a raised rubble plinth (now rendered); other similar partition walls are implied though obscured. A stopped-chamfered plastered main beam from the former hall retains plaster ogee stops of circa 1700. The first floor features a barrel-vaulted two-bay chamber (formerly the drawing room) with moulded plaster cornicing. The attic floor preserves early oak floor boarding and an early 18th-century two-panel door. A section of plasterwork survives on a purlin bearing the initials ER and MR in raised lettering, together with the date 1748.
