Description
Fron Newydd is a house built on a raised platform, situated on ground that rises to the west and falls sharply in front, overlooking a farmyard below. Constructed from local stone rubble with flushed joints, it rests on a rough boulder plinth and features a slate roof with gable stacks, the one at the west end being larger. The house has two storeys and three window bays, with a central boarded door set in a moulded frame. It has small four-pane windows, and to the left of the door, there is a twelve-pane sash window. Above the door, there is a slate plaque that reads 'Repared by / RE'V JO'N NANEY / 1820'. Around 1920, the house was enlarged with a single-storey wing that is in line with and set forward of the right end of the house. This wing has a door at the front and a gable end stack. The property was not accessible at the time of inspection.
