History

Originally known as Maesruddud, Maes Manor was built in 1900 as an addition to an earlier house and extended in 1907 when the original house was demolished. The second phase was added for L. Brewer Williams by E.P. Warren, architect of London. Between 1907 and 1914 a number of ancillary buildings and garden structures, including the gateway to the forecourt, were built by Warren in collaboration with Thomas Mawson, who designed the garden.

Exterior

Square freestone gate piers have moulded cornices to projecting caps with ball finials. The original gates are missing. Coped rubble stone flanking walls are swept down and on the N side the wall abuts the walled garden.

Reasons for Listing
