Ty Ucha Bach

1-3 Ty Ucha, Ty Ucha House, Ty Ucha Bach and Ty Ucha Cottage.

Three-storey, 3-bay, near-symmetrical end-chimney house. Of roughcast rubble on a part-boulder plinth, with modern slate roof. Stone-coped gable parapets with curved stone kneelers; plain rendered brick chimneys. Near-centre entrance with modern glazed and slated porch. Near-flush, unhorned 12-pane sash windows, copying originals. Those to the attic floor are smaller and are contained within gabled dormers which project slightly above the eaves; plain modern bargeboards. Stuccoed sill courses and window surrounds (c1900) with simple, shaped corbels below the windows. Lean-to addition to R with similar window and stucco surround.

Adjoining to the rear is the earlier, primary house (now Ty Ucha House). This is a 2-storey range with exposed rubble walls and renewed slate roof, hipped to the SE; large central stack. Entrance to R on NE side, with boarded door and 4-pane rectangular overlight below bracketed porch canopy (renewed). 4-pane sash to L with 6-pane above, under the eaves. Early C19 addition to L with 2 further 4-pane Victorian-style sashes within 2 former cart bays (now reduced).

Adjoining this range at right-angles to the NE and adjoining the main house to the rear, a late C18 or C19 service addition, now Ty Ucha Bach. Construction as before with lateral red brick chimney and brick end chimney to mono-pitch NE gable; the upper section of this is also of brick and bears an inset slate plaque (illegible). Central entrance with modern boarded stable door and flanking 4-pane late C19/early C20 casement windows; exposed timber lintels to ground-floor openings. Two contemporary 4-pane sashes with projecting sills under the eaves. Extruded in the narrow space between this, the main building and Ty Ucha Cottage is a later C19 mono-pitched link block with further 4-pane sashes to two floors.

Adjoining to the NW and enclosing the forecourt of the main house on the NE side is Ty Ucha Cottage. This is a 2-storey cottage addition of rendered rubble, with modern slate roof. Rectangular 6-pane sashes (copies of the originals) flank a central entrance on both floors, those to the first under the eaves; modern boarded door under slated and bracketed porch canopy. Adjoining to the R a short section of dressed, coped forecourt wall with plain, terminating, square gate pier.

Low modern forecourt walls form an arc to the front (SE).

The interior was not inspected at the time of survey (5/97).
