Description
Sygyn Bach is an 18th-century farmhouse that stands two stories tall and features a three-window range. It is constructed from whitened rubble on boulder foundations and has a slate roof with squat end chimneys. The entrance is off-centre to the left and has a modern glazed door. To the left of the entrance is a 16-pane 19th-century sash window, while to the right is a 6-pane window. On the far right, there is a later 19th-century 4-pane sash window. The first floor has 9-pane sashes, all of which have slate sills. At the left side of the rear, there is a rubble extension topped with a corrugated iron lean-to roof. There is a boarded door on the right with a late 19th-century 4-pane casement window to the left. The interior was not inspected during the survey.
