Description

Brynhyfryd, which includes Brynhyfryd Cottage and an attached stable and coach house, is a late-Georgian style, two-storey, three-window house built from distinctive local rubble stone. It features a slate roof and stone end stacks, with a similar stack at the end of the rear wing. The central entrance has an added portico supported by wooden posts and a frieze of raised diamond panels. Behind the portico, you can see the panelled pilasters of the original doorcase. The fielded-panel door includes a margin-lit overlight. Each storey has 16-pane sash windows, with hornless sashes in the upper storey and replacement horned sashes in the lower storey, all set under cambered brick heads painted white.

To the left, set back, is a two-storey, three-window extension known as Brynhyfryd Cottage, which has rendered walls and a slate roof, along with two tall stacks made of brick over stone. The doors and windows in this extension are replacements. Further back to the left is a lower stable and coach house constructed from rubble stone with brick dressings and a slate roof. The right gable end of the main house connects with an integral rear wing, which features replacement small-pane windows facing the road. In the gable end of this wing is a round-headed, margin-lit sash window with radiating glazing bars that provides light to the stair. A lean-to is attached to the lower storey of the wing, and to its right is an outshut located behind the main range.
