Description
Ty Mawr is a farmhouse that also includes an attached stable and cow house. It likely dates from the 17th century, with extensions added in the 18th century. The house is built from coursed rubble and timber framing, topped with a stone slate roof. The stable is constructed of rubble with a corrugated iron roof, while the cow house features a stone slate roof as well. The building has two end stacks, with the right-hand stack positioned off the ridge.
The layout is roughly south-facing with a two-cell gable access plan, featuring a cow house to the left and a stable to the right. The house is two storeys high and has two windows: a late 19th-century six-pane casement to the left of the entrance and an early 20th-century four-pane casement to the right. On the first storey, there is a 19th-century three-pane glazing bar sash to the left and a four-pane early 20th-century casement to the right, both situated under a gabled early 20th-century porch with a ledged contemporary door.
The cow house has a stone slate roof, with a square window opening to the right and horizontally split ledged doors to the left, both under segmental heads. The stable features a mid-19th-century mullioned window and a ledged door. The rear elevation of the house was not rendered around 1950 like the front and shows two panels of roughly square framing between a high plinth and wall-plate. The shaped rafter ends are pegged to an external eaves purlin.
The interior, which was not inspected, is reputed to include a newel stair to the right of the right chimney, a plank and muntin screen, broach chamfer stops, flagged stone floors, and raking strut and queen post struts, with the last being visible from the stable.
