Description
Ty Ucha Bach is a three-storey, three-bay house dating from the near-symmetrical end-chimney house, likely built in the 18th or 19th century. The exterior is roughcast rubble, resting on a part-boulder plinth, with a modern slate roof. Stone-coped gable parapets feature curved stone kneelers, and the house has plain rendered brick chimneys. A modern porch with glazed and slated panels sits near the centre of the front elevation. The windows are near-flush, unhorned 12-pane sashes, designed to resemble original features. Smaller attic windows are set within gabled dormers that project slightly above the eaves, with plain modern bargeboards. Stuccoed sill courses and window surrounds dating from around 1900 include simple, shaped corbels below the windows. A lean-to addition to the right has a similar window and stucco surround.
Adjoining the main house to the rear is an earlier, two-storey range, known as Ty Ucha House. This section has exposed rubble walls and a renewed slate roof with a hip to the southeast, and a large central chimney stack. The entrance is on the northeast side, with a boarded door and a four-pane rectangular overlight beneath a renewed bracketed porch canopy. A four-pane sash window is on the left, with another above, set under the eaves. An early 19th-century addition to the left incorporates two further four-pane Victorian-style sashes within what were formerly two cart bays, now reduced in size.
Connected to this range at a right angle to the northeast, and adjoining the main house to the rear, is a late 18th or 19th-century service addition, now referred to as Ty Ucha Bach. This section is constructed of similar materials, with a lateral red brick chimney and a brick end chimney to the mono-pitch northeast gable. The upper section of this gable is also brick and has an inset slate plaque, the inscription of which is illegible. A central entrance has a modern boarded stable door, flanked by four-pane late 19th/early 20th-century casement windows; exposed timber lintels are present above the ground-floor openings. Two contemporary four-pane sashes are set under the eaves, with projecting sills.
A later 19th-century mono-pitched link block extends into the narrow space between Ty Ucha Bach, the main building, and Ty Ucha Cottage, featuring further four-pane sashes on two floors.
Adjoining to the northwest, and enclosing the forecourt of the main house on the northeast side, is Ty Ucha Cottage. This is a two-storey cottage with rendered rubble walls and a modern slate roof. Rectangular six-pane sashes (replicating original features) flank a central entrance on both floors, with those on the first floor set under the eaves. A modern boarded door is under a slated and bracketed porch canopy. To the right is a short section of dressed, coped forecourt wall with a plain, square gate pier.
Low, modern forecourt walls form an arc to the front of the property. The interior of the buildings was not inspected during the survey in 1997.
