Description

Neuadd is a house with roughcast rendering and slate roofs, which have been redone in the late 20th century to a box profile, likely originally flat or featuring brackets. The chimneys have also been renewed. The building is two storeys tall with an attic and features a crosswing to the left of the main range. Most windows have been replaced, but they retain stone sills.

The main range consists of three plus one bays, with a rendered stack at the right end. On the first floor to the left, there are three 12-pane horned sash windows above a ground floor veranda that has three bays supported by square tooled block piers. The wide bay on the right has a tripartite 4-12-4-pane sash window on each floor. Within the veranda, there is a blocked door on the extreme left, a 12-pane hornless sash window, the main entrance which is a six-panel door with four fielded panels, and another hornless 12-pane sash window. The veranda roof is slated and hipped at the right end. The removal of render within the veranda reveals red brick around the windows and 20th-century blockwork on either side of the door. A massive reused oak door lintel is also present.

The crosswing to the left has a rebuilt left side stack and features a large front canted bay that extends to the eaves, topped with a hipped main roof and a hipped dormer. Both floors of this section have large triple sash windows with a configuration of 12-16-12 panes. The side wall has one window on each floor to the left across three floors, with a pair of casement windows on the top floor and a 12-pane sash window below, above the renewed canted bay.

An added range against the right end wall is lower, with a hipped roof and a 4-12-4-pane tripartite sash window on each floor at the front. The right side wall features a two-storey, three-bay range with 12-pane sash windows and a door in the left bay. There is also a rubble stone lean-to on the south end wall.

The interior was stripped out in 2005, except for the staircase located at the left of the main range, which consists of four flights with square balusters.
