Description

Neuadd Fawr is an unpainted stucco neoclassical house dating from the 19th century. It stands two storeys high with hipped deep-eaved roofs and rendered stacks. The main eastern front features a striking arrangement of 1-3-1 bays, with the outer bays advanced and adorned with paired giant pilasters, neo-Grec moulded caps and bases, and a deep entablature that replaces the original cornice, as the parapet with raised balustraded centrepieces was removed around 1900.

On the ground floor, there is a full-length tripartite sash window with 4-12-4 panes, set under a cambered arch and topped by an entablature. The first floor has a sill-band and a 12-pane sash window in a shouldered architrave. The central section is recessed and features a neo-Grec loggia with three bays that supports a balcony with a simple iron railing. The loggia is supported by square piers and has a moulded entablature. Inside, there are French windows in shouldered architraves with blind-boxes, and above them are 12-pane sashes without surrounds. The house has two large stacks on the main ridge.

The right end wall is more utilitarian, with three windows. The south entrance front consists of two bays with paired angle pilasters and entablature strips. There is a 12-pane sash window on each floor to the right, and a 4-12-4-pane sash window under a cambered arch on the first floor to the left, above a broad elliptical-arched entry. This entry features a delicately-traceried broad fanlight with coloured glass margins, which is mostly broken, and double panelled doors with large sidelights. An unusual Greek Ionic porch is present, supported by four massive paired cast-iron outer columns and a full entablature, with four wreaths in the frieze.

To the left, set back, is a three-storey, two-window block that is plainer, with raised framing strips, plain 12-pane attic windows, and 4-12-4-pane first floor windows under cambered arches, as well as plain 4-12-4-pane ground floor sashes. The house has a long cross-axial centre stack. The rear north wall is utilitarian, featuring a lean-to and a gabled centre dated 1889. A service range to the northwest is a large utilitarian three-storey hipped rendered block that adjoins the coach house end wall. Some windows have terracotta keystones similar to those on the 1889 section, with mainly hornless sashes, and the north side is plainer as it returns into the internal courtyard behind the main house.

The building collapsed and was largely stripped of decorative features in 1995.
