Ty Mawr

Ty Mawr is a two-storey house built from roughly coursed boulder stones and slate rubble, topped with a recent slate roof. It features end wall stacks, with the left stack corbelled out at the first floor level. The front has a three-window range, with the entrance located towards the center. The doorway has a steep voussoir arched head and is flanked by 16-pane sash windows with flat lintels. The three upper windows are similar and align with the lower ones. There is a cellar opening, which was formerly a doorway, cut by the left-hand window and also has a steep voussoir arched head, like the main doorway.

Originally, the house had an inside cross-passage plan, with the opposed entrances still visible, along with a heavy post and panel partition wall that now separates the living room from the stairway. The original layout included a large and a small room on each floor, arranged alternately. The current internal layout reflects some later changes, particularly the addition of a central staircase, likely inserted in the late 18th century. The fireplace in the living room is probably an 18th-century addition, while the earlier fireplace in the west room has been blocked, and much of the original staircase next to it has been removed. The roof consists of three bays with an arch-braced collar beam and cusped wind braces on one truss, as recorded by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales.
