Ty Mawr

Ty Mawr is a two-storey house built with flat stone slabs and has massive foundations. The roof is made of random slate in graded courses, which dates from restoration work done in 1987-88. It features end chimneys made of stone, capped by slabs, which discharge smoke to the sides. The southern chimney is massive and has been heightened with smaller masonry blocks, while the northern chimney is less massive and leans noticeably to the south, with its chimney breast corbelled out about 1.8 metres above ground level.

On the upper floor, there are two almost square windows and a smaller window to the left. A slate plaque between the floors records the history of the house, dating from the 1980s restorations. The entrance doorway, restored to its current position in the 1980s, has stone lintels and jambs. To the left of the entrance, there is one rectangular window and one small square window; to the right, there is a small square window. At the rear, the upper floor has two horizontally-proportioned windows, with the one on the right being deeper. On the ground floor, there is a square-headed door, and to the right, a small vertically-proportioned window.

The interior arrangements were restored in 1987-88 and feature a stone flagged floor. The entrance passage has modern post-and-panel partitions, with two rooms to the right and a modern oak partition between them. To the left of the passage is a hall with chamfered ceiling beams. There is a large fireplace in the southern end wall, with a heavy chimney lintel that shows mortices indicating a former loft. The south wall has the base of a former cruck. A modern wooden stair leads to the first floor, which is partitioned into two modern rooms. The chamber over the hall has two deep cupboards flanking the chimney, and there is a book room with a fireplace. The roof consists of three collar-beam trusses with purlins and two tiers of purlins, which were formerly trenched.
