Description
Bryn Tirion is a two-storey house built from whitened limestone rubble, topped with a medium-pitched, recently renewed slate roof. It features two later 19th-century brick chimneys, one on the side and one on the left gable. The entrance is off-centre to the left, with a segmental arch made of rough-dressed voussoirs, leading to a 20th-century part-glazed door set in a 19th-century pegged frame.
On both floors, there are flanking windows, all featuring similar segmental arches. The first-floor windows are near-flush pegged wooden cross-windows with casements that have small-pane glazing, which may have originally been leaded. The right-hand ground floor window is a large three-light transmullioned window of a similar style, but with plain modern glazing. To the left of the entrance is a smaller cross-window, also with plain glazing. The right gable end has a modern cross-window with tilting upper casements, while there is another modern window at ground floor level on the left gable end. At the rear, there is a single-storey former dairy outshut from the early 19th century, which was raised in the early 20th century and includes a modern window. There is also a later lean-to porch at the angle of the house, featuring a 20th-century part-glazed door and a cross-window to the north. A blocked entrance is located immediately to the right of this porch.
The house has a conventional sub-medieval plan, with an unheated parlour and service bay to the left and a three-bay hall to the right of the entrance. The hall features two large stopped and chamfered lateral beams, with the one closest to the entrance having a later partition below it. The joists are plastered over but are said to still exist. There is a tall, wide lateral fireplace with a chamfered bressummer. The windows in the hall have built-in seats with high sills. In the rear service room of the left-hand bay, the vertical oak studs and sill plate of an original partition can be seen, which was likely of post-and-panel construction.
