Bryn-heilyn

Bryn-heilyn is a stone building, partly rendered and whitewashed on the outside, with a slate roof. It has one storey and an attic, featuring three bays with a lobby entry plan. There are two bays to the left of the central stack, one bay to the east, and a 1.5 bay cellar with a chamber above at the rear. The house slopes down to the east, where there is a two-bay byre. The entrance has modern double doors with a glazed light. The windows are timber-framed, with 16 panes in the upper floor beneath three raised dormers, and 16-paned and 12-paned windows below. The rear wing includes a lean-to on the west side. The byre has one stable door, another door, and a pitching opening to the loft.

Inside, the main living chamber to the left of the entrance lobby features chamfered and scoop stopped cross beams and subsidiary joists. One cross beam is set in front of the main fireplace, which has chamfered reveals. A partition separates a narrow inner room. The east parlour is lower and has one transverse beam, with a large fireplace that is obscured by a modern grate. Steps from the main living room lead to a narrow cross passage in the rear wing, which has a fine scratch-moulded post and panel partition with the original door. On the first floor, there are three trusses with principals rising from the walls, although the tops are obscured. The rear wing also has a service cellar at ground level, originally accessed from the exterior.
