Description Neuadd Lwyd is a handsome former Rectory which has a feeling of quality and elegance throughout. The present building was thought to have been constructed in circa 1871 in place of an older building for Hugh Davies Owen who was the incumbent Reverend for the parish of Penymynydd at the neighbouring St Gredifael Church. Neuadd Lwyd was constructed of stone, some reclaimed from the original build, under tiled roof and the finest materials were used costing the Church approximately £1,482. The build lasted just under a year and was completed by late 1871. In recent years the current occupiers have meticulously renovated the property creating a beautiful family home although it is also used as a Bed & Breakfast earning a 5 star rating by the Welsh Tourist Board. From the vestibule the principal rooms retain all the original features with decorative plaster ceilings and cornice work, picture and dado rails, panelling, window shutters, panelled doors with deep architraves and decorative fireplaces. www.jackson-stops.co.uk Beyond the principal reception rooms is an inner hall with a separate entrance to the sitting room and beneath the back stairs steps lead down to an extensive basement incorporating cellar and wine bins.
