Ty Ucha Cottage

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.

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