Penrhiwllan

Penrhiwllan is a former vicarage built in the Gothic style, constructed from rock-faced sandstone with ashlar mullion-and-transom windows, slate roofs, and red terracotta ridges. The building is designed in an L-shape, with the main front facing the garden and the entrance located in the rear wing. The main front features stone end wall stacks with sloping sides and ashlar tops.

The garden front has two gables, each adorned with ashlar bands above three-light windows that have relieving arches on the first floor. On the ground floor, there is a large ashlar canted bay to the left, featuring 1-2-1 lights beneath a chamfered parapet with square rosettes, along with two two-light windows to the right. Above the ground floor, an ashlar flush band is interrupted by a pointed relieving arch, which is pierced with three tiny quatrefoils above both right-side windows. The right gable end is windowless and has three ashlar bands.

The rear wing includes two eaves-breaking two-light windows beneath catslide roofs, positioned over a door and another two-light window with a relieving arch and pierced quatrefoils, similar to those on the garden front. The door is slightly left of the window above and is framed in an ashlar pointed chamfered surround, topped with a large gabled hood supported by two large shaped brackets on corbels. The gable features bargeboards and a recessed pointed arch. The door itself has three glass panels over a boarded lower section with diagonally crossed braces. To the right, there is a one-bay former parish room section with a slightly lower roof, and an ashlar band continues across above the ground floor two-light window, which also has a relieving arch and tiny quatrefoils.

The interior has not been inspected, but plans from 1869 indicate a southwest dining room and northwest drawing room, with a study and parish room to the east of the entrance hall. There is a central open-well stair and northeast kitchen and sculleries located behind the drawing room. The first floor contains six bedrooms, one of which has a dressing room, and there was a glazed gable between the north and south ranges at the back to provide light to the stair.
