Wernfadog

Wernfadog is a largely 17th-century, L-shaped manor house, constructed of coursed grey/brown stone with a plinth and red sandstone dressings. It features half-timbered gables and red tiled roofs, with some replacement glazing to the lower window lights, carefully preserving the original window openings.

The south-east elevation is divided into two blocks. To the right is a two-storey block of three bays, each with a half-timbered gable, the central gable being larger and featuring cusped timbering. A central rectangular chimney rises above this area, with a pair of diagonally-set chimneys to the left. The first floor has a central two-light mullioned and transomed window, flanked on each side by a three-light mullioned and transomed window. On the ground floor, a central splayed bay with a pierced parapet is flanked by single-light windows, and three-light mullioned and transomed windows are located in the end bays. To the left of this, a single-storey block has a half-timbered gable above a four-light mullioned and transomed window; further to the left is a section with modern glazing.

The north-east elevation features a two-storey porch with a first floor that corbels outwards, with splayed corners, a two-light window, and a pierced parapet. A round-headed entrance doorway is flanked by Doric columns supporting an entablature with a heraldic shield. A narrow window sits to the left of the porch. To the left of the porch a projecting chimney breast has a pair of diagonally-set chimneys, and a two-light first-floor window. To the right of the porch, the wall is set back on the first floor, with a stone chimney group topped with a small half-timbered gable. A door and a three-light window are positioned below. To the right of this, two half-timbered gables are present, along with two three-light mullioned and transomed windows, with a small square window between them, and a three-light mullioned and transomed window to the ground floor left. To the left of the gables is a castellated corner bay with small windows. The rear of the building is constructed in a similar style.

The interior retains good features, particularly on the ground floor. These include a corridor with square oak panelling and a ceiling with pargetting. The rooms to the front of the house feature panelling and pargetted cornices, with bookcases in place in the former library. The hall is distinguished by a barrel-vaulted ceiling with pargetted strapwork and frieze. The north-east end of the hall houses a fireplace with an elaborate overmantel, featuring a heraldic shield and arcaded wooden mantel. The south-west end accommodates an organ housed in an elaborate 17th-century style wooden case, with square panelling to the walls and a bay window.
