Description
Clydach House is a 17th-century building with rendered limewashed elevations and a broad slate roof featuring deep eaves. It has large brick gable chimney stacks, including one on the left lean-to that aligns with the house chimney, while the right stack slightly projects. The entrance front consists of five bays and three storeys, with the upper storey added in the early 19th century. The lower storeys have twelve-pane sash windows set within plain painted architraves, and the upper storey features six-pane sashes. The central entrance is adorned with an elaborate heraldic tablet overhead, which has a rounded top and displays the arms of Lewis, including several quarterings such as Cadogan Fychan, a Welsh prince who died in 1111. Below the tablet are the initials of Francis Lewis and the date 'anno domini 1693'.
To the left, there is a broad lofted lean-to with an upper 15:15:15 pane casement. In front of this lean-to is a single-storey wing with a monopitch slate roof facing the road, while the door opens towards the garden. The left end of the house shows later brickwork on the gable, indicating the addition of the upper storey. The lean-to has 20th-century windows below. The five-bay rear elevation features upper 6-pane sashes, and the first floor retains rare surviving timber cross-windows from 1693 with leaded glazing and shorter upper panes. The ground floor has two similar windows to the right and a taller central cross window that lights the stair, set at a higher level, along with two 12-pane sashes to the left. The lean-to on the right has an upper casement over a gabled porch with a slate roof.
Although not available for inspection, the house is known to have a fine open-well central stair from 1693, complete with twisted balusters.
