Ty-newydd

Built of local stone rubble, whitewashed, with a hipped slate roof. Two storeys, attic and basement, being the remains of a single pile farmhouse aligned NE to SW, probably originally of 3 bays with a central living hall. The 5 window main NW front remains from the C18 enlargement, having a central 6-fielded and panelled door with fluted pilasters on tall dies, triglyph frieze and a pediment, and with a 3-pane overlight all by Clough Williams Ellis, and 12-pane sash windows with wide boxes and plain heavy glazing bars on ground and first floor, all the joinery painted his characteristic blue-green. A central hipped dormer of 1945 with cut-out scrolled supports on the hipped roof. The roof at the rear is extended down without a break over the older rear accommodation, but has the addition, by Williams-Ellis, of a projecting apsidal library in rough whitewashed rubble, carried on two rubble columns, oversailing glazed doors and a 12-pane sash window to the present dining room. This extension has continuous 5 large paned windows in the apse using bevelled glass, and the roof is a slated semi-cone. A rear dormer of the C18 house is partly concealed. The SW end elevation has a garden door from the office, and a raised hipped dormer, whilst the W elevation has a similar dormer and two tiers of voids as nestboxes for doves of peace.

The front door opens to a cross passage leading to the stair, across the end of a large room occupying the NE end of the front; this has an C18 plaster full cornice. Two symmetrical panelled cupboard doors at the far end. To the right of the passage, the office (swyddfa) has a fireplace on the rear wall and dentilled cornice. The stair at the rear is partially boxed in, but retains part of a handsome 'Chinese Chippendale' balustrade. On the first floor the library is entered through a six-panelled door and has a vaulted plaster ceiling. At the lower level, the dining room has part of a good C16 post and panel cross partition with a shaped doorhead against the rear wall and a moulded head bressumer. Carpenter's marks on the lower panels, the better finished face in the end room. At the NE end of the dining room there is a plain open fireplace with a high timber fire lintel, the depth now reduced.
