Description

West Garden House at Pwll-y-wrach is a single-storey building with smooth rendered walls, a stone window surround, and a Welsh slate roof. Originally a single-room square structure, it has been extended to the north into a late 20th-century pool house. The south wall features a keyed Palladian window with three-pane sidelights flanking a four-over-four pane sash. The building has a pyramid roof topped with a stone finial. The interior was not available for resurvey, but it has been extended and converted for use as a late 20th-century pool house.
