Description
Dôlgwynon, also known as Gwynon Dale, is a two-storey house dating from the 19th century, constructed from local rubble sandstone masonry. The left side elevation is rendered, while selected red stones are used for the window heads and the arch over the main entrance. Other dressed stones of a greyer colour, which match the common masonry, are used for the quoins, sills, and the dressed stonework of the entrance. The house has a slate roof with tile ridges, and the roof verges extend over the bargeboards at the front and on the right elevation. There are rendered chimneys along the ridge, with the right chimney at the end and the left chimney set in considerably. Modern rooflights have been added at the front and rear.
The rear features surviving cast-iron rainwater goods. The front elevation showcases a gabled three-storey advancing centre bay, which includes the door and two narrow side windows beneath a semi-elliptical triple-keyed red sandstone arch, topped with a string course. Above and to the sides are cast-iron lattice casement windows; the upper windows have two lights with a mullion, while the lower ones have four lights with a mullion and transom. In the side elevations, the downstairs window closest to the front is a triple sash window of late 19th-century style, lacking glazing bars. Other windows have been recently restored, with some imitating leaded lights, though two cast-iron lights remain towards the rear of the right elevation. The rear elevation has three narrow windows on the first floor, with the rightmost window renewed, and a round arched doorway to the right. The north-west wing features a three-window range with an outside staircase on the north side, and has rendered walls along with 20th-century doors and windows.
Inside, there is a good entrance lobby with a timber screen and seating at the rear of the screen beside a fireplace. The winding staircase has a cut string, newels with flat tops (though finial features may be lost), two turned balusters per tread, and a simple swept handrail.
