Tysillick

Tysillick is a house from the early 19th century, built with stucco over rubble walls and featuring a hipped asbestos slate roof with wide eaves. It has a rendered brick chimney on the right side wall and another over the cross wall on the left side of the middle. The layout consists of three rooms across, with the left-hand room serving as a parlour and the right-hand room as a kitchen, both extending the full depth of the house, and a stair hall located behind the middle room. This arrangement may represent a mid-19th century remodelling of an earlier design that originally had two equal reception rooms on either side of a wide central passage leading to a central stair hall between rear service rooms. The house is two storeys high and features a symmetrical three-window south garden front, complete with a plinth, a moulded mid-floor band, and rusticated quoin strips. The windows are 20th-century horned 16-pane sashes. The rear of the house includes an original six-panel door to the right of the middle, a mid-floor stair window to the left of the doorway, and horned sash windows on both the ground and first floors to the right of the doorway. Inside, there is a significant amount of 19th-century carpentry and joinery, including a moulded ceiling band in the left-hand room and panelled doors in most rooms. While some elements have been renewed in the 20th century, the house retains its quality from the 19th century.
