History
Llanharan House was built by Rees Powell before 1750 and was subsequently enlarged by Richard Hoare Jenkins in the early C19, with additions by the Blandy-Jenkins family later in the C19. The park and garden, S and W of the house respectively, were laid out by Rees Powell in the C18 but the present structural components were added in the period 1856-75 by John Blandy-Jenkins. The entrance steps belong to this latter period.
Exterior
Comprising 2 flights of stone steps, splayed out at the bottom, and with simple iron railings with wreathed handrails.
Reason for designation
Listed for its contribution to the setting of the house and for group value with Llanharan House and other associated listed items.
