Description

Plas y Wenallt is a house, dated to the 18th and 19th centuries, with painted 20th-century render and slate eaves roofs. The original three-bay house survives to the right, extended in the 19th century to form a roughly cruciform plan. The north front features a corniced stack from the 19th century and overhanging eaves on the right gable end. It has hornless 12-pane sash windows, and a central original 6-panel door with a radiating-bar fanlight within a rectangular frame. An altered columned porch retains the original columns and responds but has a simplified flat top from the 20th century. A wing projects at right angles to the left, with two 12-pane sashes on each floor, and 20th-century concrete sills. The north end wall includes a doorway with an overlight and a first-floor 12-pane sash to the left. Evidence remains of an outbuilding continuing to the north. An outshut is present on the east side, featuring a chimney on the roof slope and a rubble stone east wall with ground-floor openings.

The rear, south side, shows one bay of the original house to the left, with a ground-floor sash (another blocked above), followed by a broad gabled projection. This projection has a side-wall long stair light and a sash on each floor to the right. The south front has deep eaves, a small 12-pane attic sash, a large 12-pane first-floor sash, and two larger 12-pane ground-floor windows, all with stone sills. The right side wall has a side-wall chimney, a 12-pane sash over a lean-to timber porch, and a hipped roof to the left. The porch incorporates bench seats on two sides and a 6-panel door to the house. A one-bay range to the right has a hipped roof to the southeast, a first-floor hornless 12-pane sash, and a ground-floor projection with a lean-to roof and a triple window (used as an office). The office window has fixed panes to the side lights and a 12-pane sash to the centre, set within plain rendered piers.

The entrance hall was enlarged in the late 19th century; a room to the right remains from the earlier house, featuring a 6-panel door from the early 19th century, windows with panelled shutters on the front and back walls, and two round arched shelf recesses with architraves, including a small acanthus-leaf rose in a roundel to the ceiling. A late 19th-century staircase is located to the rear of the extended hall, opened to incorporate the former front left room; shutters remain. A four-panel door leads to a large rear drawing room. The office, previously used as an estate office, contains a large safe manufactured by S Willens of West Bromwich and has a separate entry from the rear porch. The first floor has some earlier 19th-century 6-panel doors to the west room, the centre room, and two linen cupboards.
