Coedmore

Coedmore is a country house built in the late 19th century in a late Georgian style. It was originally constructed for the Lloyd family, who were originally of Cilgwyn and inherited the estate by marriage in the early 18th century. The house is constructed of stucco, with stone outbuildings and slate roofs. It is generally two storeys high. The house features hipped roofs with bracketed eaves. The northwest front has three bays, with rendered end stacks. The southwest front is a bow-centred river front. The northeast front was altered around 1860 when it was made the new main entrance front.

The northwest front has a central door and large windows in architraves, which may have been added around 1860. The southwest front has no architraves, a three-window bow in the centre, and a one-window range on either side, with a blank section to the left and a sash window and door with a tall overlight to the right. All the windows are now plastic. To the right of the main house is a tall, later 19th-century colourwashed octagonal tower, three storeys high, with a battered plinth. It has three long sashes to the main floors and shorter sashes to the top floor, all under an octagonal slate roof, the upper part of which is a short spire.

The northeast entrance front has two roof hips to the right, covering four window bays, with large 12-pane sashes in architraves (the plastic windows are in the two right bays). The left bay has double doors with a traceried overlight in a stucco surround. A flat-roofed porch was added in the 20th century; old photographs indicate the entrance was previously located in the third bay. To the left, there is a one-window range, similar in design.

The river front features a pyramid-roofed range to the right and a high three-window range, with a basement and two storeys, incorporating 6-pane windows to the basement, 12-pane to the ground floor and 9-pane to the second floor. Between the tower and the main block is a lower, altered range under a single roof, with eight windows above and seven below, some of which have been replaced with plastic. There are indications of an earlier, lower eaves line between some of the upper windows.

The finest detailing is from the later 19th century and contemporary with the tower. The hall was altered when the front door was moved in the 20th century. A curving staircase with turned balusters rises over the stairwell to reach the first floor of the tower. The tower has ornate plasterwork in the ground-floor Music Room, a marble fireplace in the first-floor room, and a completely panelled library on the top floor with a panelled octagonal roof. A room to the left of the entrance has an arched kitchen fireplace made of Cilgerran stone.
