It is designated by Cadw as a Grade II* listed building, and stands in a prominent position overlooking the sea.[1] HistoryThe house was designed in 1883 by the Chester architect John Douglas for W. H. Jones.[2] ArchitecturePlas Mynach is built in local stone with a slate roof.[1] Its most distinctive features are a low spreading tower with a stair turret and stepped gables.[3] Its plan consists of a main range with two storeys to the south, single-storey service ranges to the north, and a gatehouse range to the east of the three-storey tower.[1] Internally "the hall, staircase and landing provide a classic example of Douglas's domestic joinery".[3] The door knocker came from Nuremberg.[3] External featuresThe lodge to the house, also designed by Douglas for Jones, is designated at Grade II.[4] CritiqueIn 1884 the architect Raffles Davison stated that the house "very nearly realised to me the idea of a perfect country house" and inside was "one of the most charming halls I have seen".[5] In his biography of Douglas, Hubbard states it has "a strength and austere simplicity unusual in Douglas's work".[3] The description in the listing refers to it as "one of the more important country houses by John Douglas, in an apparently little-altered condition".[1] See also
