Description

Ty Glo is a single-storey building constructed of coursed rubble and topped with a slate roof featuring wide eaves. The layout is centered around a stack, with main rooms positioned on either side. The front facade is symmetrical and includes a gabled porch adorned with a ball finial, along with a 4-centred arched entrance that has voussoirs and a half-glazed door. The windows are small pane casement style, with one window located at each end and at the rear. At the center, there is an octagonal brick stack, which resembles those found at Wern Gogas on the estate and likely dates from the 1880s, replacing the original stack. There is also a modern extension to the east.
