Dolhaidd Mansion

Dolhaidd Mansion is a large country house demonstrating multi-phase construction, with a front range appearing to predate the remainder, and externally largely of 19th century date. The house is stucco rendered, with pitched slated roofs, gablets, and red brick stacks. Most windows are replacement uPVC sashes, primarily 12-pane, with some 15-pane examples. The front range is two storeys high with a four-window arrangement. It features raised stucco quoins, a plinth, and a prominent ornate cast iron veranda of three bays with a steeply pitched leaded hood, incorporating fleur-de-lys and foliate designs. The ground floor entrance is located in the third bay from the left, beneath the veranda, and consists of a four-panelled timber door with glazed upper panels and a trisected overlight. Other ground floor openings are 15-pane uPVC sashes with 6-pane upper lights and slate sills, all with raised stucco surrounds. Corbelled sills are found on the first-floor windows, set beneath eaves gablets. Paired bracketed eaves incorporate drop moulds to the angles, and aluminium rainwater goods are present with downpipes between each bay. The rear gable end presents an undecorated timber barge board and blank decorative panels, with an arched head to the gable, paired roundels to the first floor with keystones indicating the cardinal points, and two arched-headed niches to the ground floor featuring stucco keystones and stone sills.

An eastern front, set at a right angle to the gable end, is two storeys plus an attic and features a five-window range. This section also has replacement 12-pane uPVC sashes with raised stucco surrounds and slate sills, along with three gabled dormers housing similar sashes and paired bracketed eaves. A lower, single-storey stucco-rendered extension projects to the right. A small, late 20th-century window is located to the left of the projecting front gable, alongside a small red brick end stack. A small slate-roofed lean-to extension connects to the gable end, with a small window to the east end with a head to the eaves.

The west side displays a three-storey range where an upper floor overlaps the original gable end to the left. This section has 12-pane uPVC sashes with slightly raised painted stucco hoods and slate sills. Two windows are present on the upper storey, with the left bay pierced by a former gable. Three matching openings are visible on the first floor, and the ground floor holds smaller, more widely spaced 12-pane sashes in the centre and right bays. A central 20th-century entrance door is present, along with a larger 12-pane sash on the left bay. The roof is slated with quoins to the angles.

To the right of this range is a gable end mirroring the opposing gable, but featuring blank openings to the ground floor rather than niches.

The rear of the house is largely obscured by outbuildings and later extensions. A tall red brick stack is situated between two dormers with gablets.

The house was not inspected, but is said to retain Georgian-style timber fireplaces and panelled timber doors. An attic beam bears an inverted inscription reading "D. L. Esquire. April 2nd 1726" – it is believed to be a re-set item, possibly originally from Llysnewydd. The roof timber arrangement suggests the facade range is the oldest portion of the house and formerly had a hipped roof. The timber trusses are pegged.
