Description
Rhyd y Spardyn Blas is a house with an attached former agricultural range, built from whitewashed rubble stone and topped with a slate roof featuring close eaves. The building has small pane sash windows with projecting cills and consists of four bays, all on a single story, with gabled attic dormers and gable end stacks. There is a door located in the right-hand bay, which is sheltered by a slate porch and features a 20th-century door. To the left gable, there is a large buttress, and a similar buttress is located centrally at the rear, where there is a modern window to the left and a small pane sash window to the right. The rear roofslope includes a modern dormer and two rooflights.
The attached long single-storey range, which was formerly a cowhouse, is set back to the right side and has a grouted slate roof that continues over a catslide extension at the rear. It features two plate glass sashes offset to the left in inserted openings with brick surrounds, along with a small window to the right. There are two modern gable windows and two modern windows at the rear.
Inside, the entrance is offset with an open ground floor, and the internal arrangement and details reflect the work of Brian Lingard, who made alterations around 1950. The interior includes a 20th-century fireplace and stair, as well as an inserted opening to the cowhouse range on the right. Three roughly squared floor joists show some evidence of former partitions. The first floor retains partitions, wide floorboards, and a later fireplace at the gable end. Within the roofspace, three pegged roof trusses are visible, along with the upper sections of former tongue-and-groove partitioning.
