Description

Neuadd Fawr is a gentry house dating from the 17th century, constructed of whitewashed rubble stone with slate eaves roofs. It features three gable-end square stone stacks with moulded caps, with the western end stack positioned on a massive exposed chimney breast that has offsets. The building is T-shaped, two storeys high, and has a three-window south front, showcasing 6-pane horned sash windows and a central door. The windows are topped with timber lintels and rough dripstones. There is one original timber cross-window that remains on the ground floor to the right.

The gable over the central window is barge-boarded and has a blank panel. A gabled porch in the centre has a square-headed entry and features a panelled late 17th-century door with iron studs, along with stone seats inside. The eastern gable has a loft door on the first floor to the left and a window with a timber lintel on the ground floor to the right, which shows signs of blocked openings above. The large external chimney breast is corbelled out on stone corbels and narrows with offsets at the first floor level, widening again at the attic level.

On the western gable, there is a door to the left of the chimney breast and a bread oven to the right. The rear wall of the main range, adjacent to the rear wing, has one upper window to the right and a pair of lower casement windows to the left, positioned at an angle to the rear wing. The rear wing features a western casement window above a 9-pane sash window, with a blocked vent loop to the right of the sash. A large northern end stack is present on the external chimney breast, which has three offsets on the right side. To the left of the stack, there is a damaged timber cross-window that lights the stair, along with a timber 2-light basement window below. The eastern side of the wing has a timber lintel set into the wall on the left.

An added section to the left of the rear wing was demolished in the mid to late 20th century. The rear wall of the main range has a ground floor window that was once a door, with a small window above it. Although it was not accessible in January 1999, photographs in the National Monuments Record show boarded partitions in the entrance hall, a beam and joist ceiling in the hall to the left, and stop-chamfered beams. The fine stair in the rear wing features a closed string, turned balusters, a thick moulded rail, and square newels, arranged in a dog-leg configuration with several flights leading up to the attic. There is a plank door upstairs, and the roof has large collar trusses, possibly on tie-beams, with pegged mortices to the collars.
