Description
Tal-y-bont-uchaf and the attached farm buildings are a two-storey structure, built in an L-shape, with the main range oriented roughly east-west and a full-height range at right angles to the rear (south). The building features irregularly coursed rubblestone, with the left gable end, back wall, and rear range roughcast, and a slate roof. The front has two sets of 2-light, 18-paned horizontal sliding sash windows with slate cills on both floors, positioned on either side of a roughly central entrance. This entrance features a depressed arch made of brown brick and a recessed four-panel door with sidelights. There is an integral end stack on the right and a large external end stack on the left, both constructed with 19th-century reddish-brown brick shafts, along with a small roughcast stack near the foot of the roofslope on the left.
The attached farm buildings, also two storeys, form an L-plan at the rear. The main range, which serves as stables with a hayloft above, extends southward from the farmhouse's rear range. This section is built with roughly coursed rubblestone and has a slate roof, hipped at the short range that serves as a small barn. The first floor of the main range features two square eaves windows and a doorway to the right in a hip-roofed projection that breaks the eaves, accessible by external stone steps at the junction with the farmhouse. The ground floor has a segmental-headed window in the center, flanked by doors, with the door to the right being wider. The short range includes a wide segmental-headed doorway on the right, a ventilation slit on the left, and a small rooflight. There is also a single-storey range of cowhouses attached to the left end of this range, which has altered openings, some of which have been infilled.
The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey.
