Description

Bryn Eisteddfod is a one-and-a-half storey T-shaped house located in Llansanffraid Glan Conwy, constructed from part-rough-cast rubble and topped with a slate roof. The west gable features twin off-set brick chimneys from the 1830s, which have moulded capping, along with an additional off-set chimney at the centre front of the main facade. The central entrance is modern and is flanked by 6-pane casements. This area was altered in the early 19th century to provide stable access, which has since been reversed in this century. To the right, there is a tripartite modern paned casement, and above, two 6-pane casements are set within gabled dormers that have plain bargeboards. An early 20th-century garage door is located on the northeast gable, facing the service court, with earlier brick relieving arches above it. A 3-light wooden, mullioned and transomed, leaded window with a cambered head is situated at the gable apex, topped with a c.1912 weathervane on a coped gable. The rear has a gabled projecting wing featuring a stepped, mullioned window on the upper floor with a returned, moulded plaster label from the 1830s, and a 9-pane window beneath it with a cambered head. A geometrical stone finial adorns the gable apex, dating from 1912. Additionally, there is a later 19th-century brick lean-to on the west gable end.

The garage extension is positioned between the eastern arm of the main house and the rear projecting wing, facing the service court and extending in front of the east gable of the house. It is built from snecked rough-dressed stone with ashlar detailing, featuring a kneelered and finialed gable parapet with slate coping and a slate roof. The garage has two large entrances with boarded double doors and prominent timber lintels. Above these, there is a large central, recessed 3-light mullioned and transomed wooden leaded window. The south face has two small 2-light leaded windows.

Inside the house, the hall on the ground floor to the right has a chamfered beamed ceiling, plain joists, and a slightly curved, stopped-chamfered bressummer above the inglenook. There is a single-flight slate staircase, along with two early 19th-century pine loosebox partitions in the former stable section.
