Llynlloedd

Llynlloedd is a splendidly proportioned two-storey house with seven bays across its symmetrical front and three hipped attic dormers. It is constructed of coursed rubble with a slate roof and rubble end chimney stacks, though it formerly featured crow-stepped gable ends.

The principal elevation displays 12-pane sash windows, with only one horned to the first floor; the attic storey has horned 6-pane sashes. A cambered central entrance with tall voussoirs frames a door and upper panels similarly shaped. Rubble walls extend forward to border the lawns.

The right gable end has been extended in dog-leg form, with a visible masonry break between the two sections. Part of this extension is slate hung to the first floor, featuring a horned small-pane sash window. The rear shows a single window to the main range before a three-window cross range with overhanging swept eaves and small-pane sashes; those to the first floor rise through the eaves with hipped dormer roofs. A tall 18th-century red brick chimney stack rises from the rear of the main range, with a modern red brick stack serving the cross range.

Slate hanging appears at the south-west corner, cut down the chimney breast to the gable end and alongside a small rubble lean-to. The east side has similar windows and a low side entrance. Beside the entrance at the rear is a shallow staircase projection with a single window to the south gable end, and a tall 12-pane sash occupies the extreme right at the rear. The left gable end features a narrow chimney breast and outside stone stairs rising to a panelled door.

The entrance opens at the corner of a rectangular hall with a central panelled beam, fielded panelled shutters and a window seat with panelled apron. A staircase occupies the opposite corner with a passage to the cross range beside. Architraves frame doorways into the flanking rooms, both with 6-panel doors of different proportions, the left being of earlier style. The left end room has deep moulded cornices to a two-well ceiling and an Adamsque chimneypiece recently introduced. A deep panelled window recess to the rear wall provides a seat.

A small ante-room to the right of the hall features a broadly chamfered beam, a fireplace on the rear wall, a window seat and a corner cupboard with a fleur-de-lys and Tudor Rose frieze. This leads through to the right end room, which formerly held panelling now removed to the Plas. It retains deep moulded cornice detail, an off-centre door and a fireplace opposite, both flanked by broad fluted pilasters with capitals; the cornice is projected over the pilasters. In the hall, a similar pilastered architrave with panelled reveals opens onto an exceptionally fine staircase with a cornice projected directly over the centre of the opening. Dog gates with flat balusters and finials are retained at the base. The staircase features a turned newel and balusters, a toad's back handrail swept up with a fin-like projection, and scroll-carved tread ends. Fielded panelled dado steps up at the half-landing. Full-height panelled detail flanks the staircase window, with fluted pilasters and a projecting dentilled cornice above a step up to the window seat. The cantilevered flight to the attic is similar but lacks carved tread ends on the upper flight.

The first floor landing displays unusually fine detail: four-bay fitted cupboards to the left have Queen Anne type segmental heads to the panelling, panelled pilasters and an advanced cornice. Opposite stands a full-width five-bay partition with doorways to either end, dado panelling, panelled pilasters and segmental heads to the upper panels, with separate panels above the 4-panel doors.

The roof structure comprises A-frame trusses with diagonal struts and overlapping purlins. The cross range displays simple Georgian detail.
