Ty-Hyll (The Ugly House)

Single-storey cottage in pseudo-vernacular style. Built of huge undressed boulders (some weighing up to 3 tonnes), with dry galetting of smaller stones and packing with moss. Small-slate roof (recently renewed) with deep eaves carried on crude boulder corbels. Tapering semi-circular chimney projection to R gable, ending in a squat conical stack; tall randomly-built boulder chimney to rear. Near-central entrance with modern boarded door and stopped-chamfered frame; flanking wooden mullioned windows (renewed) of 2 lights to L and 3 lights to the R, both leaded. Further leaded windows to L gable end, with primitive triangular-headed window in gable apex; this with late C19 4-pane sash. The verges here are deep and are carried on large slatestone slabs. Narrow 2-panel door to rear with flanking 8-pane casement windows to the attic floor, contained within large gabled dormers.

Modern slate-flagged floor and 3-bay modern framed ceiling in oak; stopped-chamfered joists. End fireplace to R with slatestone lintel and jambs, roughly-dressed, the latter with crude abaci; semi-circular slate hearthstone to open fireplace. Modern stair and partitioning to attic floor.
