Description

Ty'n-y-Ffrith is a large, storeyed farmhouse built from rubble with a slate roof and plain end chimneys, featuring weathercoursing and simple capping. The house has a primary section that is two-and-a-half storeys high and consists of three bays, with wide oversailing eaves. To the right, there is a lower two-storey L-shaped addition. The primary part has three modern skylights on the front-facing roof pitch.

The main facade is symmetrical, featuring a central entrance with an exposed timber lintel. The doorcase is pegged, and the door is a 19th-century two-panel design with vertical panels and later glazed cut-outs at the top. The ground and first floors have 18th-century 12-pane sash windows that are slightly recessed and unhorned, with moulded frames and segmentally-arched heads, supported by rough-dressed voussoirs. The upper floor features 19th-century four-pane casements located under the eaves.

The lower section to the right has multi-pane tripartite windows on both floors, and to the right, there is a deeply-recessed boarded door that leads to the rear section. At the back, there is a low 19th-century outshut with a long catslide roof, which includes four- and twelve-pane sliding sashes, along with modern small-pane and plain glazed windows. There is also a further 19th-century twelve-pane casement on the left gable end, which has a three-light window below it. The original lower gable line is still visible on this gable end.

Inside, the ceilings are plain with roughly-chamfered fireplace bressummers, and there are boarded doors, some of which have been relocated, while the interiors are otherwise modern.
