Teyrdan Hall

Plain C19 pine boarded panelling to entrance hall, with contemporary 4-panel doors. Simple late Regency fireplace and panelled reveals to ground-floor room at R (former hall). At the end of the entrance hall a wide narrow well stair ascends to the first floor. This is in essence an early C18 oak stair with original treads and risers and scrolled tread ends; the pine stick balustrade and rail are however C19 replacements. The first floor has a gallery, balustraded as before and giving access to the raised rear (former garden) entrance. A C19 corkscrew stair continues to the attic floor in the R corner. Wide segmentally-arched fireplace to the ground floor room of the advanced wing (formerly, as now, the kitchen).

Storeyed house of irregular T-plan consisting of a main L-shaped range with a lower wing to the SE. Of rubble construction partly with boulder foundations, with remains of former whitewash; slate roofs, hipped to the front and L and with plain bargeboards to the gable at R; off-set clustered chimney stacks, plastered and with plain cornices. The front (main) facade is of 4 bays with the larger L-hand bay advanced to form the L-plan. This has elegant late C18 or early C19 16-pane unhorned sash windows to the ground and first floors, both with cambered heads; rough-dressed voussoirs. The 3-bay recessed (main) section has the entrance at L (moved in the C19 from the centre). This has a finely-moulded, square-headed late C16 sandstone doorcase, with characteristic ribbed run-out chamfering; above is a moulded label. A later segmental pediment with cable-moulding surmounts this. The entrance is obscured by a modern out-of-character glazed conservatory-style porch. The ground and first-floor windows are 12-pane unhorned sashes with segmental heads and brick voussoirs.

The R gable shows considerable masonry disturbance including the early extension of the primary range to the rear (thereby creating a double pile, since the early C20 incorporated under one wide pitched roof). The ground floor has a 12-pane sash in a reduced opening. The first floor has two fine 3-light sandstone mullioned windows contemporary with the Elizabethan entrance; these have depressed arched heads to the lights and flat moulded labels; that to the L is blocked but in situ, whilst that to the R has clearly been relocated and has plain C20 glazing. Above is a further, 2-light window of similar type.

The rear is set against a steep grassy slope. It has a central gabled projection with a first-floor entrance off-centre L via a slate bridge; this has a 4-panel door with limestone chamfered lintel inscribed: 'Delicias habet omnae suas & gandia tectum' (all the house has its delights and joys). To the R of this is a large 15-pane unhorned sash window with limestone lintel as before; to the L are 2 small windows to the raised ground and basement floors, the latter with cambered head. In the gable apex is a further large 12-pane sash with cambered head. The 2-bay section to the R of the gabled projection has 2 similar cambered 12-pane windows, with small cambered windows to the basement floor. To the L, extruded between the main block and the gabled projection, is a modern lean-to porch. Beyond is a small C20 2-pane window with cambered head and a blocked cambered window above.

Set back and adjoining the main front to the L is a lower C18 2-storey addition (shown in the Moses Griffiths view). This has an end chimney with paired, off-set stacks. Part-glazed early C20 door to R with single windows to both floors at L, that to the ground floor with cambered head; modern out-of-character uPVC glazing.
