Description
Bryn-moel is a large, 2-storey, L-plan farmhouse constructed from local slate rubble, featuring renewed slate roofs. The building has been converted into two dwellings. It has modern windows and doors, primarily consisting of 4-pane casements set in enlarged openings. The gables are adorned with plain modern bargeboards and deep verges, while the southwest faces are rendered and whitened.
A large central stack is located on the northwest wing, which is rendered and has plain capping. There is a gabled, projecting lateral chimney on the southeast range, complete with weathercoursing and coved capping. This chimney shows evidence of a blocked stair light on the right side of the breast and bears the incised date 1563 above the weathercoursing.
The near-central entrance to the northwest range features a modern glazed door beneath a projecting slatestone lintel. To the right of the entrance is a blocked window and entrance, followed by an original small window opening. To the left of the entrance, there is a modern window with a ventilation slit beyond, and at the far left, a boarded window. An out-of-character modern gabled dormer sits diagonally above the entrance.
At the rear, there is a near-centre entrance opposite the now-blocked front entrance, flanked by windows on both floors. The southeast range has an entrance to the right of its lateral chimney, accompanied by a window to the right. A former opposing entry to the rear has been converted into a window, with additional windows to the right and on the first floor. The east gable features tripartite casement windows in original openings, complete with rubble relieving arches above the lintels. A late 19th-century boarded door leads to a former stable at the north gable end.
Inside, there is a central chimney with a flattened Tudor-arched bressummer above a wide fireplace, and a wide stopped-chamfered longitudinal beam on the ceiling. Originally a 2-bay building, this section adopted a chimney-backing-on-entry plan following an extension to the north. One of the dwellings features a 17th-century panelled window seat in the former hall, while the rest of the interiors have modern ceilings and fittings.
