Description
The Bryn is a 2½-storey, 3-bay house built in the Queen Anne style, with later Georgian remodelling. It features pebble-dashed stone walls, painted white at the front, a steep slate roof, and pebble-dashed end stacks. The central doorway has replacement French doors with wooden shutters, flanked by tripartite windows with replacement 2-pane sashes. A hipped veranda spans the entire front, supported by renewed polygonal wooden posts, with a slate roof on the sides and a glazed roof in the center.
On the upper storey, there are 12-pane sash windows, hornless in the center, and tripartite hornless sashes in the outer bays. A broad central gable includes a small-pane round-headed attic window, with 3-light roof dormers added in the 1940s on either side. To the left, there is a 1-storey projection that is partly integrated into the veranda, and the left gable end features a replacement attic window.
The veranda wraps around the right angle, leading to a 19th-century pebble-dashed porch with a replacement panel door. Above the porch is a 12-pane hornless sash window. Further to the right is Little Bryn, and on the opposite side of the rear is Bryn Canol, both of which were formerly service wings but are now separate dwellings. Between these two is a stair turret, which has a 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash window on the upper landing and a fixed 6-pane window on the lower landing.
The house's plan was altered in the 19th century, but the original layout can be inferred. The main entrance likely opened into the larger right-hand room, which had a stair at the rear, with a parlour to the left, reflecting the vernacular tradition. The well-preserved broad, full-height dog-leg stair features moulded newels and plain balusters. The ground floor underwent changes in the 19th century when a corridor was created from the entrance in the gable end, leading into the right-hand room through an elliptical arch. A narrow corridor also led from the original entrance, with both corridors converging at the stair. Most windows have 19th-century panelled reveals. Of the three visible roof trusses, one has a dovetailed collar beam.
