Description
Bryniau Melynion is a building constructed of whitened and rendered rubble, topped with a renewed slate roof. It features plain chimneys, with the larger one on the left, both made from dressed sandstone blocks that have been reused from a likely local Medieval site. Similar sandstone blocks are also used as quoinstones. The entrance is off-centre to the right and has a late 17th-century pegged oak doorcase with run-out stops to the chamfering. The contemporary wide, boarded door retains its original wrought ironwork and wooden latch, although a modern glazing panel has been blocked. On either side of the entrance are modern 2-light casement windows that have been added to enlarged openings, along with three similar casement windows on the first floor under the eaves. The rear also has three modern windows on the first floor and a modern door to the left. A wooden lean-to is located off-centre to the right.
To the left of the entrance front, there is a later single-storey addition that is set back and stepped down, constructed in the same style with a modern roof. The entrance to this addition is at the right corner, featuring a recessed boarded stable door with an angled, projecting stone lintel above. Adjacent to the right of the main block and stepped down is a single-storey dairy extension, likely from the 18th century. Rough stone steps lead to an upper entrance on the left, which has a modern boarded stable door. To the right gable, there is an original boarded basement door with a pegged frame, alongside a modern part-glazed door; above this is an out-of-character modern picture window.
Inside, the ceiling features stopped-chamfered beams and joists. The building appears to have originally been framed, with subsidiary beams that connected the main transverse ones, which were removed during a presumed late 17th-century remodelling when the joists were turned. There is a former partition groove to the right of the door that separated the hall on the left from the parlour on the right. The parlour includes a small fireplace made with reused sandstone blocks, while the hall has a wide recessed fireplace with a stopped-chamfered, cambered bressummer and chamfered, dressed sandstone cheeks. To the left of the fireplace is an oven with a brick vault, and to the right is a recess for a former mural winding stair. Additionally, there is a plain, single-bay granary extension.
