Description

Ty Rardd is a 2-storey and attic house constructed from local rubble and topped with a slate roof featuring wide eaves and cement rendered clustered chimney stacks. The house has a cross-shaped plan, which has been modified by a later extension to the north. The main entrance was originally located to the south, where a blocked doorway is now visible. The front elevation consists of three bays, with the central bay projecting and gabled to the full-height attic storey. Each floor has a small-pane horizontally sliding sash window, characteristic of the Glynllifon estate during this period, along with another window on the right side of the ground floor. A modern window is located on the left, set above a single-storey lean-to.

The east elevation is cement rendered and features unusually heavy Tudor dripmoulds, with one small-pane sash window retained and otherwise modern windows. The west side includes a 4-pane horned sash window, and to the north, there is a single-storey extension that serves as the current entrance to the house. Inside, the simple estate cottage retains some panelled doors.

Local climate

Ty Rardd sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,370 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
