Cilgwyn Manor

Cilgwyn Manor is a country house dating to the early to mid-18th century, with later alterations. The house is built of colourwashed roughcast with stucco dressings and has slate roofs. Notable features include chimneys that have been altered, a single rendered stack on the front ridge, a modillion eaves cornice, stucco chamfered quoins, and thin stucco window surrounds.

The main facade is symmetrical with seven windows over three storeys, the central five bays projecting slightly under a broad, modillioned pediment which features a keyed oval panel with a cross motif. Windows are 4-pane sashes from the 19th century, with thin surrounds on the upper floors and French windows on the ground floor. A central 20th-century half-glazed door is set within a classical porch supported by two pairs of painted ashlar Roman Doric columns. The right-hand end wall is windowless, while the left end has two 4-pane sashes to the first floor and two to the second floor. A recessed service wing has a roughcast end stack and a 4-pane sash to the first floor and a 12-pane sash to the second floor, the upper window breaking the eaves under a gable. A later 20th-century wing is attached to the main house by a glazed link.

The rear range of the main house features a full-height semi-circular bow on the east gable end, with a conical metal-clad roof and three sash windows on each floor (12-pane to ground and first floors, 4-pane above). The rear is largely altered, but retains a wall-face stack to the left and arched stair lights on each floor further right. The east end of the rear roof is steeply hipped, suggesting an early to mid-18th century origin.

The central entrance hall contains a small fireplace and early 19th-century panelled doors. A spine corridor has panelled arches on either side of the stair hall, featuring early 19th-century reeded mouldings. The mid-18th century stair is located in the rear range, with a four-flight design, a heavy closed string with alternate balusters displaying a column-on-vase or spiral-on-vase motif, and a thick moulded rail. The bottom newel is heavily tapered with fluting and a square cap, while the others are plain and rectangular. The main windows have early 19th-century shutters. The dining room to the southeast was formerly two rooms. A northeast room has a curved east end and mostly renewed detail, including a later 19th-century fireplace that was moved from an upstairs room. Stair lights have later 19th-century glazing with etched coloured glass margins, red on the first landing and blue on the second.
