Description
Bryn Tirion is a two-storey house built in the 18th century, with an irregular plan form comprising a main T-shaped range, an adjoining angled service range, and later additions. The house is constructed of roughcast brick with slate-hung gables and an original slate roof with gently feathered eaves. Most windows are original casement windows with six panes to each sash. The main entrance, on the north side, features a segmental stone arch over a tripartite glazed door, leading to an inner porch with a 15-panel door, the upper three panels being leaded. A half-hipped gabled dormer sits above the entrance, and to the right is a gabled chimney with a distinctive elliptical profile and projecting vents. To the left of the entrance is a projecting cross-wing with a flat-roofed canted bay window on the ground floor and a slate-hung gabled upper floor, along with a rectangular central chimney. At the rear, a hipped catslide roof covers a single-storey garden room protruding between the main and cross ranges. This garden room is constructed of wooden posts, with pegged oak, and formerly weatherboarded infill sections, now with plastic imitation. A half-hipped gabled dormer with a tripartite window mirrors that above the front entrance. A plain lateral chimney is located on the angled section to the right.
Adjoining the main house to the northeast is a later two-storey, gabled wing, constructed in the same materials. An arched ground-floor cross-passage, formerly open, leads to the rear. Canted first-floor oriel windows are present on both the front and rear gables, featuring decorative pargetting. A contemporary single-storey, flat-roofed garage adjoins this wing to the northeast.
The interior detailing is simple and restrained, with two-panel doors and plain moulded architraves. A half-well staircase has off-set stick balusters and a moulded oak rail with newels and pendants, leading to a galleried landing and a panelled stair cupboard. Ground-floor rooms feature moulded picture and dado rails, along with later 1930s Jacobethan plasterwork and fireplaces. A single-flight rear staircase mirrors the front staircase, with a large glazed top light. Further plasterwork decoration is present. A double-arched opening within the balustraded gallery incorporates wooden fictive wrought iron, in a Chinoiserie style. Two segmental arches feature in the first-floor passage, with openwork overthrows inspired by both Jacobean and Art Nouveau styles. The bathroom has contemporary green and cream dado tiles with Art Nouveau-style foliate insertions. Most original interior fittings remain, including cast iron radiators, brass door furniture, and brass multiple light switch panels. A large first-floor billiard room is located in a later addition, with a walnut grained door, lincrusta dado panelling, and Rococo-style imitation plasterwork to a segmental barrel vault.
