Ty Obry Farmhouse

Ty Obry Farmhouse is a T-plan, two-storey farmhouse with an adjoining agricultural range to the west. It was built in the late 19th century of rubble construction, set on a boulder plinth and with a slate roof and plain, late 19th-century bargeboards. The farmhouse has end chimneys, with the upper sections dating to the 19th century. An extension to the north in the late 19th century has shifted the gable end chimney to appear central. Decorative off-set slates adorn the chimney capping. The front of the farmhouse has low rubble forecourt walls and faces a hillslope to the south. The off-centre entrance, on the left, features a recessed, late Victorian boarded door and a rectangular overlight. There are two windows to each of the ground and first floors, with plain 20th-century casements and projecting cills. An original, small oak-framed stair light is set into the east gable of the main block; a plain modern window occupies the west gable, facing a farmyard. Further modern casements are located on the west side of the rear arm, with first-floor windows breaking the eaves and contained within catslide dormers. A single-storey, late 19th-century porch projects from the angle between the main block and the rear of the farmhouse. To the left of this porch, a parapetted external stone stair rises to the first floor, with a gabled porch addition at the top. Stepped down from the stair, and adjoining to the west, is a narrow agricultural range with kennels on the ground floor and an upper loading bay to the gable end. This range and the adjoining gabled extension of the main house are raised above a nearby lane. A small, late 19th-century two-storey addition adjoins the east side of the rear wing, with a further entrance between it and the main block, set within a catslide porch. A single-storey rubble-and-slate lean-to is attached to the right of this addition.

The internal layout of the primary house suggests a former cross-passage arrangement. The former hall retains stopped-chamfered spine beams; the fireplace has been blocked. To the right of the hall, a cupboard conceals the original corkscrew stone stair, which survives unaltered and re-emerges in a similar cupboard on the first floor. The late 19th-century doors and staircase have since replaced the original.
