Description
The garden walls and outbuilding at Plas Gwyn date from the 18th century and are constructed of rubble stone, featuring some blocks of hard green stone and red sandstone. The western wall along Bishops Castle Street is tall and topped with stone coping. There is a straight joint connecting to the outbuilding at the right end. The outbuilding has an imitation slate roof, a rubble stone north gable, and a west side wall facing the street with a rubble stone base and weatherboard above. It includes a 20th-century metal small-paned cross-window on the left. The south gable end facing Lions Bank is made of stone, except for the boarded gable. It features a cambered-headed nine-pane window with a blue brick head on the ground floor to the right, and above it, there is a boarded loft door with a blue brick sill. The east wall is made of red brick and has an oak wall plate, with a cambered-headed stable door on the left. There is a single-storey garage at a right angle to the right, which has double sliding timber doors and a slate roof. The garden wall is rebated behind the outbuilding and garage, returning to the corner with well-crafted squared red sandstone and green stone quoins, possibly reused. This wall extends up Lions Bank to a pair of tall square gate piers from the 18th century, made of stone with brick quoins and flat stone caps. To the right, the wall continues with a rougher build to the corner opposite Clawdd-y-dre, from where it returns north, incorporating a gateway, as far as the opening to the modern Rectory.
