Description

Dol y Coed Well-House is a single-storey T-plan building dating from the 19th century. It features cement rendered walls, quoins, and a moulded plinth. The building previously had a hipped slate roof with ridge cresting and wide boarded eaves. The wide window openings, which are now boarded over, originally contained tripartite wooden windows and are adorned with moulded architraves and keystones.

On the south front, there is a doorway to the left with a pilastered and segmental headed frame that once held a 6-panel door, now boarded over. To the right of this doorway is another window opening. The west side of the front block has a central window opening. To the northwest, the footings of a former conservatory can be seen, which had a mosaic-type floor. The well-head's rendered drum is exposed and topped with a domed head featuring an octagonal vent. To its right is an internal boarded door.

The east side of the front block has a pilastered doorway with a flat head on the left and a window to the right. There is a short range extending to the east, beyond which is a single-storey addition with cement rendered walls under a slate roof, large quoins, and a plinth. This addition has a half-glazed door on the south front, flanked by plain boarded window openings. The gable end features a blocked doorway on the left and a 2-light multi-pane casement window on the right. At the rear, there is a similar window and a small late 20th-century window to its right.

Access to the interior was not available at the time of inspection, but it is reported to be plain, with vertically boarded walls, moulded cornices, plain ceilings, and 6-panel doors. The drum of the well-head is said to be decorated with mosaic cladding and key-pattern bands, and it originally featured ornamental spouts.
