Description
Tanycoed is a symmetrical late Georgian style house built in the 18th century. It has three bays and two storeys, along with a basement. The front is pebble-dashed, featuring a hipped roof covered with renewed slates and projecting boarded eaves. There are roughcast stacks on both the right and left sides. The central doorway is set within an open wooden porch that has latticework on the sides and is supported by two cast iron posts at the front. The doorway consists of double half-lit fielded-panel doors. The windows are 12-pane hornless sashes. To the right side, there is a garden wall that is set back and includes a boarded door. An added garage is set back on the left side.
The side walls of the house are also pebble-dashed. The right side wall features a small casement window that lights the butler's pantry. The rear of the house is asymmetrical with two windows and is roughcast from the 19th century. It has a central basement doorway with a panelled door and a four-pane overlight. On the right side of the rear, there is a 12-pane sash window, with a smaller 12-pane sash window to the left. The ground and first floors on the right side have 12-pane hornless sash windows similar to those at the front. The left side has a tall narrow small-pane stair window to the left of centre and a smaller 12-pane sash window on the upper storey.
Inside, the central entrance hall features an elliptical arch on consoles. Beyond this, the open-well stair is on the right and has a wreathed handrail with plain balusters and moulded tread ends. The main rooms retain their panelled doors, and the room on the right includes a slate chimneypiece with a panelled surround and consoles above the mantel. Behind the stairs is the butler's pantry, and a steep stair leads down to the former service rooms in the basement, which still have their original boarded doors.
