Description

Tyddyn Engan is a cottage with an attached cowhouse, built in the 19th century. The main cottage is a single-storey structure with a two-room plan, oriented north-south, and features a small catslide outshut at the rear on the right. To the right of the main cottage, there is an additional room and the cowhouse, both under the same roofline. The south gable end has the ruins of former outbuildings.

The exterior is constructed of regularly coursed rubblestone, rendered with plaster quoins and window surrounds on the front wall of the main cottage, topped with a slate roof. The main cottage has 20th-century casement windows, which likely replaced 19th-century sash windows, set in eared plaster surrounds adorned with shell decoration at the top. There is an offset boarded door, and rendered integral stacks at both ends of the cottage. The left stack is at the end, while the right stack is at the junction with the third room, which features a recessed doorway to the left and a window opening to the right, separated by a later rubblestone wall built at right angles to the front wall. There is also a narrow rendered brick ridge stack at the right junction with the cowhouse, which has a doorway to the right. The rear of the building is otherwise unbroken, with a low blocked doorway to the left of the outshut, which has a small window in its back wall.

The interior was not accessible during the survey.
