Description

Tyn-y-Coed is a late Georgian town house, built around 1800, and altered in the Victorian period. It is constructed from rough-dressed, coursed stone with a shallow-pitched slate roof. The symmetrical facade has three bays over three storeys, with outer, gabled attic dormers. The central entrance has a modern, single-storey wooden porch with plain columns supporting a pediment featuring a reused Victorian foliate finial, and balustraded sides where most of the turned balusters are missing. The arched entrance has a stuccoed entablature partially hidden by the porch. The original front door retains six moulded panels and a good, original segmental fanlight above. Modern, fifteen-pane bow windows have been installed on the ground floor, with blind boxes above. The first floor retains original fifteen-pane sash windows, with modern external slatted shutters and projecting stone cills. Similar nine-pane sashes are on the second floor, with two upper panes replacing the original three on the left-hand side. Steeply-gabled dormers to the left and right bays relate to a late 19th-century raising, and feature bargeboards with chevron decoration, decorative finials, and ridge tiles. These dormers contain six-pane recessed sashes. The building has plain gable chimneys, with the chimney on the right featuring decorative Victorian pots. A small skylight is visible on the roof.
