Description
Tirionfa is a medium-sized, two-and-a-half-storey former rectory dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of roughly-coursed local slatestone rubble with slate roofs and two squat, centrally-placed chimneys. The building's plan is notable for its ingenious design, comprising a three-bay hipped-roofed main range with a central gabled projection, a broader gabled wing to the rear, and flanking side wings set back from the main elevation. This arrangement creates a broadly cruciform plan, with the side wings being flush with the rear wall to form an integrated, longer service range.
The main facade is symmetrical with three bays, featuring a full-height porch projection with plain bargeboards to its gable. The porch has six-panel doors to its returns and original unhorned sash windows with 12 panes to the ground and first floors, and 9 panes to the second. Open verandahs extend to either side of the central gable, each with a hipped slate roof supported by four chamfered and fluted timber posts. Large 16-pane sash windows are present on the ground and first floors of the verandahs. Rough-dressed slatestone provides the sills and lintels throughout, with a continuous sill band to the first floor. The return elevations have a similar style of windows to the ground and first floors, with some replacements on the left side at the first floor level. The attic floor has narrow, horizontal eight-pane sashes.
The rear elevation is loosely symmetrical but with varying window positions. The broad, central gabled wing includes small-pane sashes to the first and attic storeys, alongside altered ground-floor openings. An original rear entrance is located in the left angle of the wing, alongside an inserted doorway. Several small-pane sashes are present, including one to the right with 20 panes. The gabled returns of the rear elevation retain original 16-pane sashes to the ground and first floors. A deeply-recessed modern entrance with a multi-pane door has been added to the left return, accessed via a dogleg steel fire escape.
The interior is relatively simple with moulded architraves and panelled doors. Ground-floor rooms have panelled reveals and shutters. The hall features a six-panel door leading to the stairwell, with a segmental glazed fanlight above. The staircase is of a plain stick baluster type with replaced newel posts.
