Description

Llys Morgan, also known as The Old Vicarage, is a former vicarage dating back to the 18th century, with significant alterations from the mid-19th century. The front façade is constructed of grey slate masonry, while the rear is built of a variegated slatey shale stone. The east gable end is roughcast. The roof is covered with renewed slate tiles, featuring a tile ridge, cross finials, simple wood bargeboard, and red brick chimneys. A slate lacing detail is present in the valley gutter on the east side of the rear wing, and a roof light is located on the east side of the rear wing.

The main range runs east to west. The rear elevation retains earlier character with three painted blind windows and a nine-pane hornless unequal sash window above, alongside a blind window and two tripartite hornless sash windows with a 4+12+4 pane configuration. The upper windows are set against the eaves, and the lower windows have rough timber lintels. The east gable end has a twelve-pane hornless sash window above and a large canted bay window below.

The north-facing front of the main range, dating to the mid-19th century, features three unequal gables to the north and a single gable to the west. This rebuilt front displays the date 1852 on an upper lintel. The front is characterised by plain stone lintels and sills. The left, north-facing gable is slightly advanced and contains a nine-pane unequal hornless sash window above a panelled door. The middle gable mirrors this arrangement with similar windows above and below. The right gable is also slightly advanced, with a small attic window, a nine-pane upper unequal hornless sash window, and two four-pane lower sash windows. The left return of the left gable includes a blind window above a six-pane unequal-sash window. The western gable is notable for a modern window within a block-bonded yellow brick surround and a double French door, also in a similar brick surround.

The rear wing has a two-window elevation to the east, featuring twelve-pane hornless sash windows above and below, adjacent to the main range, with other windows restored. The gable elevation of the wing has nine-pane hornless unequal sash windows above and below, set in brick surrounds which suggest they were inserted during the front alterations. To the west, the wing incorporates a lateral chimney, a porch, and two upper and one lower restored windows.

Inside, the house retains a lateral fireplace in the rear wing. One downstairs room contains a white marble fireplace, which is described as being curiously designed with mouldings resembling book spines and is believed to have originally been located in an upstairs room.
