Bryn Nodol

Bryn Nodol is a house dating from the 17th century, with substantial additions and alterations in the 18th century. It is built of colourwashed stucco, with some slate-hanging, and has slate roofs with five rooflights, flat eaves, coped gables and tall brick stacks. The north front has seven windows arranged over two storeys and an attic. These windows are 12-pane sashes, and a front door with four fielded panels above twelve panes of glass. Dripcourses run over each floor. Two basement windows, dating from around 1600, use stone mullions and are located on the right-hand side of the north front. The east end wall is clad in colourwashed slate-hanging, with a loft light, a 12-pane first floor window and two long 15-pane ground floor windows added in the 20th century. A conservatory is said to have previously been situated on this wall.

A rear wing to the southeast has three unevenly spaced 15-pane sashes on the first floor, above a 20th-century triple casement, a single light, and a half-glazed door with an overlight. A kitchen addition of 1756, built of colourwashed rubble and brick, extends across the south end gable and is single storey with a loft. This section has a 6-pane window with a hoodmould in the east end gable. The south wall is painted stone on the left side and brick on the right, featuring a doorway with a red brick head to the right, a blocked door to the centre right, and a small paned triple casement to the centre-left. Two sloping dormers are set in the roof. A tall red brick stack marks the west end.

The west elevation of the southeast wing is slate hung. The rear of the main house incorporates an outshut to the left of the southeast wing, again with some slate-hanging and a 12-pane ground floor sash. A red brick stack rises from the roof slope, followed by a tall stair gable with a red brick gable stack. Colourwashed slate-hanging is situated between the low ground floor and the gable, both of which are stuccoed. Twelve-pane sashes are set in the attic and first floors of the stair gable, alongside a ground floor door and a window to the right. An outshut is situated against the left side of the stair gable, with a roughcast south wall and a 12-pane sash to the first floor, and an arched ground floor window, all set against the side of the stair gable. Further 20th-century windows and a small eaves window are also present. The west end of the main house has a loft light and two long 20th-century ground floor windows.

The interior is fine and uniform, with principal rooms featuring long fielded panels, a low moulded dado rail, and modillion cornices. Six-panel doors and fielded panelled shutters are present throughout. The central room is the most complete, with a moulded Bath stone fireplace, a keystone, a pine frieze, a shelf and an iron grate. The east room has two replacement windows and a modern fireplace. The west room is panelled on one wall only. Panelling and original fireplaces are found in three first-floor rooms. A broad dog-leg stair features open stringing, but the balusters and moulded rail are replacements. The stair rises over four flights to the attic, which contains six collar trusses with curved collars. A partition is said to have originally featured moulded oak panelling dating from around 1600.
