Llangedwyn Hall

Llangedwyn Hall is a large house dating from the 18th century, comprising a main range and two projecting wings. The exterior is rendered, with a timber cornice and truncated pediments to the gable ends of the wings. Slate roofs are topped with stone ridges. A central chimney is located on the main range, with further chimneys to the west of both forward wings, and to the north of the main range.

The east elevation, now the main front, features six irregularly spaced windows. The windows are restored 12-pane sash windows, with a doorway inserted in 1959. The doorway has Tuscan columns and a rounded pediment bearing arms and a date. Three dormers, with leaded casements, are positioned along the roofline.

The original front of the house is the south elevation. The right-hand wing of the remaining two wings represents the central wing of a former “E” shaped plan. These wings feature restored 12-pane sash windows above and 16-pane sash windows below. The pediment of the left wing has a two-light attic casement window; the pediment of the right wing displays a large sundial. The left wing presents a five-window façade (12-pane sash windows) with two dormers, overlooking a courtyard. The main range has four similar windows. A hipped staircase corner is located at the angle with the right wing, alongside a single window and a lateral chimney.

A long service range extends to the west, angled slightly back. This range is rendered and has a slate roof. A taller gabled wing, linked to the main house, features a clock in its apex. It has two 24-pane sash windows above and segmental arch-headed windows below. The remainder of the service range is an irregular nine-window range with casement windows above and cross-windows below. The roof appears to be of “M” shape.

Following alterations and the demolition of the east wing, the interior has been redesigned, though some rooms have been sympathetically restored. Original staircases include a “well” staircase, now in a different location and incorporating some Jacobean wainscot, and an early 18th century staircase in the hipped corner of what was the central wing and is now the east wing.
