Description
Ystrad House is a long, two-storey house originally built in the earlier 18th century, with later alterations. It is part of a terraced pair and constructed from rubble sandstone, featuring droved ashlar dressings, while the west elevation is harled and painted rubble.
The west elevation was originally symmetrical, with two doors at the center, one of which has been blocked and converted into a window when the house was adapted to a single residence. There are windows flanking the outer bays and three additional windows under the eaves above.
On the east elevation, there is a stair window off-centre to the left, with French doors in the flanking bays and first-floor windows above. Each outer bay has windows on both floors, and there is a timber mullioned bipartite window inserted at ground level on the outer right.
The north gable is blank and faces a narrow close. The house features a 12-pane glazing pattern in the sash and case windows, with end and mutual gable stacks, and is topped with grey slates.
Additionally, there is a rubble rigg wall retaining the garden to the east.
