Title:

Olchon House: architecture, construction and history

Place name:

Llanveynoe

Date:

Up to 1700

Description:

 

(15) Olchon House, 320 yards S. of (12), is probably of 15th-century date and appears to have been a small dwelling built on the central-chimney type of plan. Late in the 17th or early in the following century the house was remodelled and a lean-to addition was built along the whole of the N. side of the house; in modern times this rear addition has been heightened to two storeys. Inside the building are several old battened doors with strap-hinges. A cupboard in one of the bedrooms has doors of re-used 17th-century panelling with the rails enriched with carved channelling.
