Tal-y-llyn

The original plan of the house is unclear, but may have been based around the present L-shaped plan, as there are C16 (or early C17) window jambs to all parts. There are no clear divisions between the parts of the house visible on the exterior. Two-storey farmhouse with wings E and N; advanced wing to E elevation, small porch to N elevation (now forming principal entrance). Rubble walls, roughcast, with sandstone dressings. Slate roof with rendered gable-end chimneys; central chimney to E wing.

E elevation: original principal elevation. Offset to the right (N) is an advanced two-storey gabled wing with chamfered sandstone plinth on boulder foundations; hollow-chamfered cornice, moulded gable copings with pyramidal finial. Mullioned and transomed windows with pedimented hoods to E elevation (4-light) and ground floors of N and S elevations (2-light), with inscription 1597 HW MW in tympanum of S window. First floor windows to N and S returns are square-headed 2-light mullioned and transomed windows.

To the left (S) of the advanced wing is a 2-window range (largely restored in 1905); with a round-headed door set in a square frame with stop-chamfered moulded architrave; spandrels with 'G' to left and 'M' to right (for George Meyrick); recessed keystone with '1905' in relief; moulded hood. Heavily studded boarded door with prominent strap hinges with cusped terminals. To left is a reset 3-light mullioned and transomed window with pedimented hood. A stepped plinth leads from the doorway. Above the door is a narrow 4-light sash window with segmental head; to the left is a broader 4-pane horned sash window. The W elevation of the S wing is a 3-window range. Two-light mullioned window to the ground floor right with straight moulded label (possibly re-set), the other windows are 4-pane sashes of varied size; the 2 windows to the left are modern casements.

N wing: boulder foundations with broad rendered plinth to E gable. The main N elevation is an asymmetrical 3-window range with the hipped porch entrance offset to the right (W). Windows widely spaced and scattered, a mixture of 4-pane sashes and casements, mostly square-headed except over the door, which has a segmental head. The left (E) gable has a 4-pane casement window to the first floor. The right (W) gable elevation has two blocked small square-headed windows with moulded sandstone architraves (one per floor), suggesting that the N wing dates from the C17 or earlier. The rear (S) elevation of the N wing has 2 x 2-light mullioned windows to the ground floor with straight moulded labels; 4-pane sashes to 1st floor.
