History

Detached house, part of an unusual later C19 development for the Maesgwynne estate, comprising a terrace of four houses, a pair of semi-detached houses on the E side, and 2 detached houses. The architect was almost certainly George Morgan of Carmarthen, whom W.R.H. Powell employed elsewhere in the village at the time, and the date was probably around 1880. W. R. H. Powell (1819-89) of Maesgwynne was a prominent improving landlord and sporting figure, MP for E. Carmarthenshire for about 20 years. He rebuilt much of the village of Llanboidy including the Maesgwynne Arms hotel, the church, the Market Hall, the School and many of the houses. Powell was a noted breeder of racehorses and hounds, master of fox-hounds for many years, and very large crowds came to meetings at the racecourse he laid out SW of the village.

Exterior

Victorian estate house with minimal Gothic detail, rubble stone with slate eaves roof, red brick end stacks and red terracotta crested ridge tiles and finials. Two storeys, three-window range with small centre casement pair over door under pent slate hood on carved sloping brackets, the triangle above the brackets with Gothic cusping. Panelled door with herringbone boarding in panels. Windows each side are 3-light mullion-and-transom timber windows. Painted rendered surrounds with hoodmoulds to ground floor windows, red brick jambs and timber lintels to upper windows which break eaves under overhanging gables with bargeboards and collars supporting pendant finial. Rubble stone 2-window end wall of casement pairs in rendered surrounds, the ground floor windows longer with hoodmoulds. Two basement vents below. Bargeboards to gable verges. Attached service wing to rear, set lower due to sloping site with bargeboarded gable with terracotta finial over eaves- breaking window, C20 glazing, and altered ground floor with C20 glazing to 2 wide openings, the left one C20 with remnant of a window with hoodmould over, the right one a former carriage-entry with cambered head and cambered hoodmould.
