Description
Iscoed is a large late Georgian country house that looks west over Carmarthen Bay. The building features a symmetrical design with a 3-storey, 5-bay main range, outer wings connected by screen walls, and a service range at the rear, which encloses a central courtyard. Currently, it mainly exists as a roofless shell, with the main elevations made of brick and the rear elevations constructed from rubble stone with red-brick dressings.
The main range includes a central added porch that is accessed by curved steps on either side, which are bordered by iron railings. The windows have flat brick arches, and those on the lower storey are set within arched recesses that feature a raised stone impost band. The middle storey has a thick stone sill band, and a stone cornice is located beneath a roughcast parapet. The side walls are 3-bay, with the right side retaining the polygonal walls of a former conservatory. The left side's screen wall has a wide opening under a flat brick arch, while the right side's screen wall features a narrower round-headed opening. The outer wings have a hipped slate roof on the right-hand (south) side, which also has small-pane windows inserted around 1979. The wings have a single-bay west front with a window in an arched recess and a raised stone impost band. The 7-bay side elevations include a stone plat band, and the 3 central bays are slightly projected forward, with the south wing retaining a gabled roof. The rear service wing presents a 12-window elevation to the road, with a projecting central entrance under a tall round arch that has an oculus above it. Doorways are also set back from the right and left ends.
Inside, as of 1958, the house contained at least four finely designed and moulded mantelpieces from the later 18th century, decorative plasterwork, and a staircase with square balusters beyond a Venetian archway in the hall, although the overall condition of the house was already poor at that time.
