Description
Ty'n-yr-hendre is a 2-storey farmhouse built in an H-plan, featuring an L-shaped range of single-storey outbuildings attached at the rear. This building is designed in the mild Gothic style, which was commonly used by the Penrhyn Estate for its structures in the late 19th century. The sides and rear are constructed from roughly coursed rubblestone, while the front is made of more finely coursed and dressed, though still irregular, rubblestone. The slate roof has overhanging verges and carved purlin ends.
The front of the farmhouse has a symmetrical arrangement of three bays, with the center slightly recessed from the gabled wings. The first-floor windows are mullioned and transomed, featuring glazing bars in both the upper and lower lights. There is a 2-light, 4-paned window in a narrow gabled dormer that breaks the eaves at the center. On the ground floor, large 3-light mullioned and transomed windows in the wings mirror the glazing bars of the first-floor windows. The central entrance has an ornamental timber lean-to porch supported by coupled and chamfered timber posts on staddlestones, with a pointed outer arch over a 6-panel front door (3 over 3).
The prominent ridge stacks on the wings have stone bases and four rebated shafts with stepped capping. The right return features a mullioned and transomed window towards the rear, while the rear has a similar but less formal fenestration pattern compared to the front. The L-shaped outbuildings are protected by a screen wall that aligns with the right return of the house.
The interior was not accessible during the survey, but it is noted to retain original fireplaces in the principal ground-floor rooms.
