Description
Tyas House is a late 18th-century building that has been altered over time. It consists of a house and two cottages that have been combined into one dwelling. The structure is made of hammer-dressed stone and features quoins, a pitched stone slate roof, and a coped gable on the west side. The footstones are moulded, and there is a catslide roof on the north side extension. The building stands two storeys tall.
On the south elevation of the main house, there is a central doorway with an ashlar surround, which may have been added later. Both the ground and first floors have one three-light stone mullioned window and one four-light stone mullioned window, all of which are recessed. The first floor also includes a central two-light stone mullioned window that is recessed. The central cottage has a ground floor with one six-light stone mullioned window, which is recessed and features a king mullion. The first floor has one five-light stone mullioned window, also recessed.
The north elevation has a ground floor with a blocked door that has a large lintel and a modern casement window inserted. There is one three-light stone mullioned window and a lean-to with a window that has a large lintel, which may have been a former doorway. The first floor features one three-light stone mullioned window.
On the west elevation, the first floor has one three-light stone mullioned window that is recessed and has a rendered surround and mullions. The east cottage is a rebuilt two-storey extension with a pitched roof, quoins, and one three-light stone mullioned window on both the ground and first floors of the south elevation.
