Bryn-y-Bont

Bryn-y-Bont is a single-storey cottage built around 1845 as part of the Gwydir estate by Lord Willoughby De Eresby. It features a stylised pseudo-vernacular style influenced by the Ty-Hyll, or 'Ugly House', near Capel Curig. The cottage is constructed from rubble and sits on natural rock foundations, topped with a modern slate roof that has deep verges and eaves. The eaves are distinguished by shaped corbelling at the corners, while the verges are made of large slate slabs.

On the left side, there is a round, projecting end chimney that consists of two stages, topped with a cylindrical stack featuring a moulded cornice and louvre. The entrance is located near the centre on the right, with a slightly-recessed boarded door that has a glazed upper panel. To the left of the entrance are later 19th-century wooden windows: a tripartite window on the left and a twin window on the right, each with 4-pane glazing per light and projecting slate cills. The right gable end has a triangular arched-headed window.

The interior was not inspected during the survey in March 1996. This mid-19th-century estate cottage is noted for its characteristic design and has group value with Pont-y-Pair.
