Description
Gallt-y-beren is a small country house constructed with unpainted roughcast and features a slate hipped roof with two roughcast stacks at the ridge ends, topped with yellow crested chimney-pots. The building has two storeys and an unusual three-window front located on the right end wall, which includes 12-pane hornless sashes that are closely spaced, with larger sashes on the ground floor.
The long southwest front has a 20th-century glazed door in the center, set within an ornate flat-roofed porch that features a trellis design with a pointed arch and intricate intersecting diagonals and verticals. To the left of the door is a 16-pane hornless sash, while the first floor has 12-pane hornless sashes aligned with the door and the left sash. There are no windows on the right side, and a small 20th-century casement is located at the extreme left of the ground floor.
The northeast elevations have been altered, as has the range at the northwest. Inside, there is a stone newel stair leading down to the cellar on the northeast side of the house, and a central open stair with stick balusters.
