Ty'n-Y-Coed

Ty'n-y-coed is an early 17th-century farmhouse, later altered and extended, located in the civil parish of Llangyblodwel. The original structure is timber frame with red brick detailing on an uncoursed limestone rubble plinth, with some areas of rendered woven infill. The eaves were raised in the late 17th century, and later additions and alterations have been made. The roof is covered with graded slate. Originally a two-cell plan, the building features an inserted stack to the left gable end. It is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic.

The central entrance is sheltered by a 19th-century red brick lean-to porch, which has a contemporary half-glazed door, and 19th-century casement windows are located to the left and right. A further two casements are on the first floor, and one to the right. Framing details include three square panels from the cill to the original wall-plate at the rear, with two panels above. To the front, the raising of the eaves has timber framing with red brick to the left gable end. Integral rubblestone end stacks flank the left and right sides, with later 19th-century red brick tops. The former roof line is visible at the left gable end.

A 19th-century single-storey, gabled addition, built from rubblestone and red brick, extends to the rear on the left. This addition contains a tall red brick shaft and a lean-to element, which houses a bread oven.

The left ground-floor room boasts a deep-chamfered spine beam with stepped ogee stops, along with chamfered joists having stepped and run-out stops. A partly infilled inglenook fireplace, complete with a 19th-century wooden mantel-shelf affixed to the original moulded wooden lintel with stepped ogee stops, is also present. The right ground-floor room mirrors this with a similar chamfered spine beam and joists, plus vertical posts to a cross wall. An oak winder staircase is positioned to the right of the entrance, with a small later pantry located beneath. The floors are primarily brick and tile. A 19th-century cast-iron cooking range is within the gabled rear addition. The first floor has a deep-chamfered spine beam in two sections, with plain joists. A small back room is lit by a fixed-light window. A cast-iron Victorian fireplace is in the left room. Wide boarded floorboards extend to the attic, accessed by a straight-flight staircase in two sections. The single-purlin roof, spanning two bays, features a central collar and tie beam truss, along with an additional chimney bay to the left. Plank doors are fitted throughout, using pointed strap hinges, some of which have incised decoration or fleur-de-lys designs. Notably, there is no trace of a fireplace to the right gable end on any floor.
