<\/a><\/p>\nThe main block is rubble with large quoin stones. The
\noriginal doorway on the S.E. has a segmental arch, is splayed
\nand rebated, and is enclosed by a later porch certainly not as
\nrecent as the inscription ‘T W D 1909’ over the entrance.
\nTo the N. of the porch is the inscription ‘E V I77S’, possibly
\nfor Evan (Lloyd) Vaughan, of Corsygedol. The windows at\u00a0the ground floor have been enlarged or inserted, those at the\u00a0first floor are small, nearly square, and little altered. High up
\nat the S. end of this front are a number of square recesses
\nfor doves. At the back or N.W. are two crude buttresses
\nand modern stone steps to an upper doorway which is now
\nblocked. \u00a0Next to the steps is a blocked window of two lights\u00a0and beyond \u00a0the buttresses a former doorway converted into a
\nwindow. The N.E. end has a projecting chimney shaft which
\nrises square, with slate cap and drip ledges (Plate 47). The
\nS.W. end has a small square window at the ground floor, but
\nhas been rebuilt from the first floor with new windows and
\nchimney. The roof is of modern slates except towards the
\nS. end.
\nThe original internal plan has been obscured by alterations.
\nAt some time during the 19th century the building formed
\ntwo houses, as the twin wooden staircases indicate. There are
\ntwo doorways on the main front and wide fireplaces at both
\nends, but no evidence of any party wall. However, a typical
\n16th- or 17th-century plan emerges from the situation of the
\nfront entrance opposite a blocked back entrance, and from the
\nexisting ceiling beams.
\nThe ceiling is divided into five bays by main beams supporting
\nsecondary beams and joists, all chamfered and ending\u00a0\u00a0in curved stops. \u00a0Adjacent to the wide S. fireplace (now\u00a0blocked) is a small room which may have led to a stair. It is\u00a0entered through an arched doorway of the 17th century with a\u00a0door of contemporary style, studded and hung on strap\u00a0hinges.
\nTwo sections of early panelling survive, neither in situ.
\nTo the N. of the S.E. entrance is a section of a post-and-panel
\npartition including a doorway with blunt-arched head. To the
\nN. of the N.E. entrance is a reconstructed section (Plate 58)
\nof a screen composed of two posts one of which is enriched
\nwith a vine motif, a middle rail enriched with a two-headed
\nconvoluted dragon, two moulded muntins above and a grooved
\none below, and three pieces of linen-fold panelling partly
\nfilling the upper divisions, all on a heavily moulded sill. This
\nwork is typical of the early 16th century and presumably
\nderives from an older house, the existence of which may be
\ninferred from the pedigrees.On the N.W. wall of the N.\u00a0room is a fleur-de-lis in plaster, and similar decorations are
\nsaid to have been destroyed during renovations.
\nThe first floor retains no early features.<\/p>\n
