Description
The West Wing of Llwyn-du Court is a double-depth, central-entry villa built in the classical style associated with Robert Lugar, and extended by single-depth wings. The building was likely constructed over brick, with rendered and painted elevations, and has natural slate roofs with brick stacks. Added in 1936 is a loggia to the south-east (entrance) elevation.
The south-east elevation, facing the entrance, has six bays arranged as 1 + 3 + 1 + 1. The original three-bay section features a central entrance with flanking gabled bays. The entrance has a large porch of Bath stone ashlar with steps leading to double doors with a keyed head, fanlight and Tuscan pilaster surround. Corner pilasters support a cornice with a balustraded parapet around a balcony, with sidelights to the porch. Above the porch is a French casement opening to the balcony. Flanking bays have a French casement with a raised surround on the ground floor and a 6 over 6 pane sash window above, each with a pediment. The roof has a low pitch with ridge stacks. The first bay to the left is windowed in the same style and has a hipped roof over, with a canted end to the left featuring blind panels, the wider ones on the end, and the upper floor narrow ones with arched heads. To the right is an added bay windowed as before, followed by a three-window canted bay with 6 over 1 pane sashes below and 6 over 6 above; narrow 1 over 1 pane sashes are to the left, the ground floor one set forward with a balustrade above. A three-bay, single-storey loggia, with French doors behind a Tuscan colonnade, completes the elevation to the right.
Behind the entrance block, a long wing stretches northwest and returns to the north; this is now a separate house. At the time of resurvey in March 2005, this wing was only partly visible, but it is also two storeys high with four bays facing west, the first one slightly forward. There are two large canted bays on the ground floor. All the first-floor windows are 1 over 1 sashes with architrave surrounds; the window in the second bay from the left is paired. This wing has a low-pitch roof with a central ridge stack. The rear elevation was not inspected, and the interior was not available for examination at the time of resurvey.
