Description

Llanfair Guest House is a two-storey building dating from the 19th century. It features a slate roof and a red brick chimney, with grey, coursed flat rubble walls that have hammer-dressed quoins, dressings, and voussoir lintels.

The front of the building faces east and has a shallow-pitched hipped roof with widely overhanging boarded eaves. It includes three sixteen-pane horned sash windows. The central entrance door is framed by a classical Doric style porch supported by columns. The north-facing side elevation has three windows, with the end windows on the ground floor featuring added splayed bays in painted stone, each adorned with three round-headed arches and pairs of gothic style columns that have ringed shafts and foliage capitals. Above the cornice, there are cast iron rails to balconies, which previously had canopies at the eaves level. The balcony rails display coats of arms with lions supporting a shield that features a sheaf of corn and a bird. The end windows on the first floor have been altered to form French doors leading to the balconies, while the central window remains a sixteen-pane sash. Below this, there is a smaller sash window on the ground floor. The south wall of the main block has an inserted broad window on the first floor, which is dressed in blue brick.

At the rear, there is a lower two-storey service range with a low-pitched hipped roof and overhanging eaves. This range is constructed of slightly larger, browner flat rubble than the main block, and its fenestration has been somewhat altered with blue brick dressings. Between the main block and the service block, there is a two-storey flat-roofed infill that is rendered.

Inside, the sitting room and dining room, which have bay windows, retain original late Georgian style details, including fireplaces and decorated beams. A datestone on the low garden wall adjacent to the bay windows bears the inscription 'J Vaughan 1874'.
