Rheola House, Georgian country house in Glynneath, United Kingdom
Rheola House features white-painted rubble stone walls, slate hipped roofs, and full-height canted bays enhancing diagonal views across the Welsh landscape.
John Nash, the renowned British architect, designed this residence between 1812 and 1814 for his cousin John Edwards during the final phase of his private commissions.
The interior spaces, including the library and dining room with elaborate cornicing, reflect the social gatherings and domestic life of early 19th-century Welsh gentry.
The house stands at 47 meters elevation between Glynneath and Resolven, surrounded by gardens registered on the Cadw/ICOMOS list of historic Welsh parks.
The structure follows Nash's rustic villa concept with asymmetrical facades and incorporates chimneys designed in a 16th-century architectural style.
