History

Late Georgian villa-scale house c1815, with additions of the later C19. A Thomas Blackwell of Hendre, Llanrwst is noted as a local landowner on the 1839 Tithe Map.

Exterior

Elegant 2-storey house, originally of square plan, with a storeyed L-shaped service wing adjoining to the rear; later additions. Rubble construction, formerly stuccoed, with moulded sandstone cornice and hipped slate roofs; 2 central chimneys with moulded capping and 2 further, plain service chimneys to rear. Symmetrical 3-bay entrance front with fine Tuscan open porch to central entrance; dentilated cornice, three stone steps. Recessed 6-panel door, the upper 4 panels raised and fielded, with rectangular overlight, currently boarded (January 1997). Flanking 12-pane (?) recessed sash windows, also boarded; within arched recesses with slightly-projecting archrings above roughly-dressed voussoirs. Original 9-pane recessed sash windows to first floor. 2-bay NW side with full-height segmental bow to R and recessed window to L, as before. The bow has two windows to each floor, as before. 2-window SE side with late C19 single-storey, flat-roofed rectangular bay addition to the L; cornice as before and twin boarded sashes. A contemporary additional one-window bay adjoins flush with the main block to the R; similar windows and iron railings around steps to basement access. Rear adjoining service wing with 9-and 12-(?) pane windows as before, and a plain boarded door with overlight. Large tripartite window to SE where the eastern arm of the block advances to form a small court, open to this side; further entrance in the W angle.
