Gwysaney is a substantial Jacobean mansion built in 1603, but from the late C17 to the early C19 it was a tenant farm. It was inherited in 1821 by Philip Davies-Cooke who c1823 demolished the E wing of the house. Davies-Cooke also laid out the formal garden and arboretum on the N side of the house. The E wing had formerly housed a chapel, the windows of which were set up in conjunction with the gable end of a former outbuilding (shown as a greenhouse in 1899) as a garden feature in the formal garden in 1906.
Comprising two 3-light Perpendicular windows set into a rubble stone wall, with sundial between. A return on the E side forms the stepped gable of a former building, the W wall of which continues as a coped rubble wall and is attached to the house. The N wall continues to the E and W as a coped rubble stone wall, incorporating a wrought iron gate and flanking urns, and defines the S side of the formal garden.
Listed as important architectural fragments of the original house, and for its contribution, with other associated listed items, to the setting of the present house.
