Plas Llangoedmore

Plas Llangoedmore is a country house dating back to around 1760, with a substantial front range added in circa 1833. The main front range is roughcast with a painted Cilgerran stone plinth, pilasters, and architraves. It has a low-pitched roof with deep eaves and bracketed cornices, and two rendered brick ridge stacks. The two-storey, five-window facade features a plinth, four giant pilasters, and a plain frieze. Pilasters are positioned at angles and framing the centre bay, which is further accentuated with additional frieze moulding and a deep-eaved pediment. Large sash windows have stone moulded architraves, painted sills, and wooden blind boxes, with 12 panes above and full-length 15 panes below. A recessed entry is positioned centrally, screened by two painted, unfluted Greek Doric columns with pilaster responds and a cornice above. The entrance area is paved with York stone flags and includes side niches. Half-glazed double doors, flanked by pilasters, side-lights, and an overlight, provide access.

The east side of the building features a similar two-window range. An 18th-century range projects at the east end, incorporating a two-storey bay built of roughcast (with red brick beneath), with cyma-moulded eaves brackets and a hipped roof. This bay also has 12-pane sash windows, with longer panes in the lower sections. The rear of the house exhibits similar eaves and two side wall stacks, one of which is truncated. An arched stair-light and 12-pane sash windows are also present.

To the right of the main range is an added service range. The front of this range is set back, with a low-pitched, deep-eaved roof and a rendered ridge stack. A recessed section to the right is constructed from whitewashed rubble stone, featuring a 15-pane sash window and a 6-panel door with an overlight, all sheltered by a lead-swept-roof verandah supported by ornamental trellis piers on either side (original plans indicate a centre pier as well). Above the door is a central 12-pane sash window. A projecting roughcast section to the left has a 12-pane horned sash window on each floor, topped by a hipped roof.

The circa 1833 front range contains a broad hall and a room on each side, with 6-panel doors and panelled shutters. The left-hand library has been altered, while the right-hand drawing-room retains a fine Greek Revival white marble fireplace with columns, lion-masks, and an acanthus frieze. An acanthus cornice and similar friezes are positioned over two doors. The rear range of 1760 features a central dog-leg staircase rising in four flights, with turned balusters and scrolled tread-ends, and a thick, ramped rail. The large dining room to the right has painted wood panelling in large sections, a dado rail, and a moulded cornice. A plain fireplace now occupies the space where a more ornate fireplace and overmantel were previously located; these have been removed to St Fagans Museum. Fielded panelled doors, two at the northern end with architraves and pediments on pulvinated friezes, are notable features. A panel between the doors is enriched with corner square rosettes and a simplified scrolled pediment. A square-headed serving recess on the west wall mirrors this detailing.
