Trawscoed Hen (West Wing)

High quality red brick (local, from Cae Bric) in Flemish bond set in lime mortar on an ashlar stone plinth of 3 courses and three stone string courses. Hipped slate roof. The rectangular block is set at right angles to the main facade, presenting one bay elevation to the main S front, and connected to a lower 3-bay link block, the centre bay of which is set slightly forward and articulated with a tall shallow blind brick arcade, the arches springing from a narrow stone band, the link connecting to the former centre block. The W side elevation has 6 window openings set on the lowest string, with finely rubbed flat brick heads. The link contains a 3-seat WC.

The west block was possibly designed to contain the ballroom, or a library for the main block, which had a 3-bay 3 storey recessed centre with horizontal parapet and projecting 4-storey end towers. A perron stair approached the central pedimented front door.
