Description

Ty Hir is a linear range of two single-storey cottages, with a narrower lofted kitchen set back at the right (southwest) end and a lean-to extension at the left (northeast) end, which was formerly a shoemaker's workshop. There is also a modern lean-to extension at the rear. The cottages are constructed of limewashed rubble masonry and feature a heavily grouted roof made of small slates. There are three rubble stacks with rendered caps; the stack on the right gable end of the right-hand cottage is particularly massive, while one is located on the left gable of the original cottage and another on the gable end of the kitchen addition.

The front (northwest) elevation shows each cottage with a two-window range and a doorway between them. The right-hand (original) cottage has its openings offset to the left (northeast). The windows are recessed and consist of 12-pane hornless sashes. The doorways are square-headed with boarded doors and shallow rectangular fanlights above. The range at the right (southwest) end features a 4-pane sash window on the ground floor and a 4-pane casement window in the loft, positioned towards the left (northeast) end. The lean-to at the left (northeast) end includes a stable door on the right and a small 2-pane fixed light in a partly blocked opening to the left (northeast).

On the rear elevation, there is a single fixed light for the loft in the kitchen addition and a single 12-pane sash window for the northeast cottage, with a lean-to in between that has a corrugated iron roof.

Local climate

Ty Hir sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,180 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 11 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 3 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
