Description
Bryn-y-Mor is a Regency style, two-storey house with a compact, formerly square plan. It features stucco elevations and a hipped slate roof with wide bracket eaves and a central rendered stack that has a cornice. The building has a plinth and a band at the first floor cill.
The front of the house has three windows with an advanced central bay. It includes casement windows, a cross frame in the centre of the first floor, and French windows on the ground floor, including in the advanced bay to the right. The first-floor windows have architraves. A wide flight of steps leads up to a central stone porch, which has paired Tuscan columns at the front and pilasters flanking the entrance. The porch features a cornice and parapet, with arched panels on the double doors and an overlight above. There is a timber verandah with trellised uprights and arched braces that projects beyond the porch to the right. The verandah wraps around the side elevations and includes small pane sash windows, a lean-to, and fire stairs, as well as a tripartite window on the ground floor to the left. The right side has two windows, and the rear has a three-window extension with mainly small pane sash windows, including a tripartite kitchen window. There are remains of an early stone-walled conservatory and a converted coach-house at the rear.
Inside, the building retains an inner porch and an entrance hall with a tripartite screen. The plaster ceiling features reed and bobbin ribs, a central rose, and a modillion cornice, with ceiling roses in other main rooms. A panelled arch with tapered pilasters leads to the openwell staircase, which has a panelled dado, a scrolled handrail, turned balusters, and ‘S’ shaped tread ends, topped with an octagonal lantern. There is a splayed arched opening to the rear, which was formerly a window and has panelled shutters that were blocked after the rear extension. The interior also features six-panel doors and panelled reveals. The building was previously divided into three flats.
