Description
Cefn Park is an early to mid-18th century Georgian mansion with later additions, including an attached stableyard range to the north. The building stands three storeys high, featuring floor bands and a rendered brick exterior with limited exposed stone dressings. The main block consists of five bays, highlighted by a projecting cornice and a triangular pediment above the central bay. A single-storey stone loggia with Ionic columns serves as a porch to the central bay. The main block has recessed four-paned, squared-headed sash windows, while the later north and south wings have segmental arches over the ground and first storey windows, with broad mullions. The second storey features square-headed windows with slightly projecting architraves. To the south, there is a later single-height, top-lit billiard room with its own side entrance. The rear elevation retains earlier square-headed sash windows and includes three French windows in the south wing that open onto the garden terrace. The central section features an apsidal stair turret. Attached to the north are later 19th-century red brick stables and a coach-house, which have a hipped slate roof, brick chimneys, and sash windows.
The interior was not inspected during the resurvey in March 1996, but it is reported to mainly reflect early and late Victorian styles following a fire in 1830. The entrance hall is said to have a cyma bracketed cornice and opens to a cantilevered semi-circular stone staircase with simple iron balusters. The drawing room is reported to retain a classical marble fire surround and a deeply coffered plaster ceiling.
