Description
Rhydgarnwen is an asymmetrical villa dating from the 18th century, built of tooled squared stone with slate eaves roofs, crested ridge tiles, and fretted bargeboards. Stone stacks are present throughout. The villa is two storeys and has an attic. The windows are sash windows with marginal glazing bars and slate sills. The main south front features a projecting half-hipped gable to the right, decorated with ornate fretted bargeboards and an external east stack. This section has two first-floor windows, each with a single sill, and a large canted bay below with a slate three-sided roof. To the left of the main section is a range of one and a half storeys, where the two upper windows break the eaves under two bargeboarded stone dormer gables. A ground-floor lean-to extends from the front, hipped at the west end, featuring two windows and paired panelled doors with stained glass top-lights and stained glass to Gothic overlights. The west gable has a fretted bargeboard and a window on each floor. The north side has a stone stack in a valley leading to a recessed half-hipped gable with a canted bay below and a window above. A two-bay, two-storey-and-attic rear wing is roughcast with two dormers, a stone ridge stack, and a brick north end stack. The east side of the main house has a large external chimney and a steeply pitched hip roof over a stairwell light and door. A stone lean-to in the angle between the main house and the service wing has a shouldered-headed door and a small window above. The roughcast service wing has a gable to the left and two dormers, with the gable's floor levels higher than those to the right.
Inside, the staircase is located to the right of the entrance hall, featuring a Gothic newel and turned balusters. Fireplaces have been removed, but original panelled doors and tiled floors remain. The front doors incorporate stained glass bird panels.
