Description
Ty'n-y-ffordd is a house built of rubble and whitewashed, with an attached farm building, likely a cowhouse, constructed of coursed slate stone. The dwelling features a slate roof with blue ridge tiles, while the farm building has a corrugated iron roof. The house follows a traditional end-stack plan, with an entrance lobby adjacent to the stack that leads into the main living kitchen, and an inner room that has been extended into the earlier farm building. It has a boarded door with a timber lintel above, two light casement windows, and a small 4-pane window in the attic set within a small flush gable. There are also two small dormer windows on the rear roof slope and flush roof lights. The opening to the former farm building, possibly a cowhouse or stable, has a new glazed door facing the road. The house has been extended at the rear under a lean-to roof to create a kitchen. The farm building at the northeast end consists of a cowhouse or stable with a loft above, featuring a ventilation slit to the left of the central boarded door and another ventilation slit for the loft under the eaves. There is an additional opening in the gable end.
The interior has been modernised, with a timber frame at the center, where the tie beam extends through the front wall.
