Description

Llanmihangel is a symmetrical, two-storey house with a T-shaped plan, dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of rendered or roughcast rubble stone, with slate roofs, masonry end stacks, and a central stack to the front range. A stable and granary were added to the rear of the rear wing.

The front range, facing south, is three bays with a central lobby-entry. The front door is planked and has an overlight beneath a shallow segmental head. Sunk-chamfered mullioned windows with “lying” panes, set under square hoodmolds, are symmetrically arranged above the entrance and at the ends of the front range. Later ground floor windows were added flanking the entrance, matching the style but with straight hoodmolds. A small attic light is set into the west gable, offset to the right. Single-storey lean-tos have been added to the gable end and rear of the front range, featuring 20th-century windows and a door.

On the west side of the rear range, a planked door and a two-light casement window have been inserted. To the left is an original blocked doorway, which once provided a lobby entrance in front of the north end stack; it is sunk-chamfered with a flat head and ornate stops. The upper storey has two-light mullioned windows under hoodmolds, set above the inserted door and to the rear of the main range. The added stable range to the left of the north end stack has an external stone staircase leading to the former granary. The stable features stable doors to the right and a three-light window with a flat lintel in the upper storey. A row of nesting boxes for doves is situated below the eaves on this range.

The north gable end has three tiers of nesting boxes flanking a four-pane window; below them are two similar windows. At ground floor level, offset to the left, are planked double doors, accompanied by a small boarded window to the right, both under a wooden lintel. A large single-storey lean-to has been built against the east side of the stable, containing two planked doors and a ventilation slit to the left. To the left, the house has two two-light mullioned windows to each storey (the ground floor window being a 20th-century replacement), with a single light window near the angle with the front range. A similar two-light mullioned window is located to the rear of the front range on the upper storey. A small attic light is set into the east gable, offset to the right.

Inside, the lobby entrance faces back-to-back fireplaces, with a hall to the left and a parlour to the right. The kitchen was originally located in the rear wing, with a now-blocked entrance near the north end fireplace. A dog-leg timber staircase is accessed from the southeast corner of the kitchen; its replacement is possible. The current kitchen occupies an L-shaped lean-to extending from the west and north sides of the hall. The northern lean-to was formerly the dairy and retains a bench with stone slabs. An original third doorway, now covered, led directly from the dairy into the hall. All cross beams at both ground and first floor levels are deeply chamfered with hollow fillet stops. The back-to-back fireplaces remain, though modernised, with the northern fireplace blocked. Interior features include planked doors within timber frames, some moulded, and sunk-chamfered mullioned windows with seats within the splayed reveals.
