Peithyll

Peithyll is a house built in the late Georgian style, featuring a symmetrical design. It is constructed from roughcast rubble stone and has a slate roof with deep eaves and two large stone chimneys at each end, which have slate cornices. The eaves are supported by brackets. The house is two stories tall and has a three-window range of hornless 12-pane sash windows, with the ground floor windows being full-length and set on slate sills. The entrance features a six-panel center door with four fielded panels and two glazed panels above, topped by an overlight. A Roman Doric timber porch with two columns, pilaster responds, and a modillion cornice that breaks forward over the columns adds to the entrance's elegance. The left end of the house is slate-hung with deep verges at the gable and a 12-pane window on each floor, although the windows have been renewed in uPVC. The right end is roughcast and has a 12-pane sash window on the ground floor right and a 20th-century small-paned window above. There is also a 20th-century two-storey rear wing added to the structure.

Inside, the entrance hall leads to principal rooms on either side with a stair at the back. The original details are of good quality, including cornices in the entrance hall and the rooms on either side. Six-panel doors and panelled shutters are present throughout. The hall cornice features acanthus brackets and rosettes between them, while the ceiling is divided into three panels with moulded borders and an acanthus rose in the center panel. The door reveals are also panelled. An elliptical moulded archway in the hall is supported by panelled pilasters. The narrow winding stair has a continuous rail that is scrolled at the foot, with square balusters each adorned with two small mouldings around them and open treads. The room on the right side of the ground floor has an egg-and-dart cornice and a scroll border, along with a pair of panelled alcoves. The right-hand room features a cornice and border with rosettes.
