Plas Ty Coch

Plas Ty Coch is a late Georgian villa of roughly square plan, formerly known as Ty Coch farmhouse. The main range is two storeys and three bays, constructed of coursed stone with a hipped slate roof on bracketed and panelled eaves, and two coursed stone chimney stacks. A long service wing is set back on the east side.

The front elevation features a central porch with Tuscan pilasters and Tuscan columns in antis below a plain cornice. The door is a late 19th-century half-lit panelled door with leaded glazing bars and similar glazed side panels. Windows throughout are 16-pane hornless sashes set in architraves. A later 19th-century lean-to veranda, shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey, runs continuously around three sides. The front elevation veranda has two open bays either side of the portico with cast iron posts and wooden elliptical arches. A narrower end bay on the left is infilled with boarding and Tuscan pilasters.

The left side wall is two bays with hornless sash windows in architraves: 16-pane in the upper storey and 20-pane in the lower storey. A basement sash window lights the right-hand bay. The veranda on this side comprises five open bays with blind end bays matching the front.

The rear garden front is three bays with a seven-bay veranda with blind narrower end bays. Windows are 16-pane hornless sashes in architraves. The central lower-storey window is offset to the left. A small horned sash of four over a single pane is inserted at the lower left end.

The service wing, set slightly back from the north garden front, is six windows long with a hipped roof to the east end and three roughcast chimney stacks. It has mainly 16-pane hornless sash windows in segmental-headed architraves. A half-lit panelled door at the right end is enclosed by the veranda's narrow end bay. Adjacent to this is a larger 20-pane window. In the upper storey, a small sash window in a brick surround is inserted to the left of the right-hand window. The east end wall has a lean-to on the left side, with 16-pane hornless sashes under flat arches to the right of centre.

The right side wall of the main house contains a 12-pane sash window lighting the stair. The south front of the service wing is concealed behind a single-storey wing, constructed after 2001 and partly built on earlier coursed stone courtyard walls with segmental-headed doorways. The upper storey of the service wing retains four 16-pane hornless sash windows.

The entrance hall features a late 19th-century decorative tile floor and opens on the right through an elliptical arch with ironwork neo-classical glazing bars to the stair hall. The open-well stair has plain balusters, wreathed handrail and moulded tread ends. The stair light contains late 19th-century coloured and etched glass.

Most original internal partitions have been removed to create larger rooms. However, the principal ground-floor rooms retain classical plaster cornices and most rooms retain panelled doors and panelled shutters. The north-facing room overlooking the garden has a recess with Tuscan columns and elliptical arch, and a slate chimneypiece. The service wing retains two 16-pane hornless sash windows in its south wall, formerly facing the courtyard but now concealed within the added south wing.
