Plas-y-Ward

Two-and-a-half storey double-pile gentry house; of roughcast brick construction with projecting and gabled end chimneys to each range, the stacks unrendered. Slate roof with sandstone copings and shaped kneelers to gable parapets. The facade has a main symmetrical section of 5 bays, with a central entrance with simple late C19 wooden open porch; C19 four-panel door with rectangular 2-pane overlight. Near-flush 4-pane C19 sashes with marginal glazing to the ground and first floors; 3 hipped dormers to the attic with similar, squatter windows. A flush single-storey C19 lean-to addition adjoins to the R. This has a large 6-pane early C20 window to the front and a 12-pane sash to the side. Extruded in the angle between this and the rear gable end of the main house is a modern uPVC conservatory addition.

The rear elevation is near-symmetrical and has a central entrance with original 2-panel door; ovolo-moulded pegged oak frame and simple late C19 canopy porch. Above the entrance is a plain 6-pane cross-window, placed between the ground and first floors to light the stair landing; similar cross-windows to the ground and first floors, with 3 gabled dormers to the roof, as before (undergoing restoration at time of survey). A C19 slated lean-to service addition adjoins the centre of the N side.

Entrance hall with oak dado panelling made up from re-used early C17 small-field panelling; arcaded frieze decoration. Original late C17 oak dog-leg stair with square newels and turned balusters. In the ground-floor front-facing room are two primary boarded niches to the rear wall, together with a neo-Tudor stone fireplace.
