Ty'n y Llwyn

This is a long range of one-and-a-half storeys built of rubble stone with patches of render, standing on a large stone plinth and roofed with old graded slate. A tall stone ridge stack at the centre and a lateral stone stack at the north-west angle both have moulded capstones and dripstones.

The entrance front faces left, accessed through a 17th to 18th century lean-to porch of rubble stone under graded slate roof with raised copings and moulded kneelers. The porch roof pitch has two small skylights. The porch contains a 20th century half-glazed wooden door, offset to the left. Just right of centre, not quite aligned with the stack, is a large projecting gabled unit of rubble stone, rendered to its sides, with raised copings and moulded kneelers and a small light to the left return. In front of this projecting unit is a timber-framed full-height bay window with 3-light casements to each storey. The upper storey is slightly jettied, as is the gable above. Most windows in the house are wooden casements with quarries set under timber lintels, though some were replaced with plate glazing in the mid to late 20th century. Between the porch and projecting unit is a plate glass window. To the right of the projecting unit is a 2-light window lighting the hall; further right is another plate glass window. A garden wall adjoins the right end of the house. The attic storey has two slate-hung raked dormers asymmetrically arranged at the far left and right of centre, each with a 2-light casement window.

The west gable end is rendered with raised copings and moulded kneelers. It has a plate glass window to the ground floor and a small 2-light casement with quarries above. The east gable end is built into the bank and has a small stone lean-to shed with corrugated iron roof adjoining.

The rear elevation has a doorway to the right under a slate-covered porch canopy supported on wooden brackets. The door is boarded with arched ribs and has a small-pane overlight. To its left is a 2-light casement with quarries. Tiny lights at the far left at different levels possibly light a stair. The attic storey has a raked dormer to the right with a shallow 4-light window and a gabled dormer to the left with a 2-light casement; both dormers are slate hung.

The front entrance leads into the kitchen at the west end, which has a small cross-angle fireplace served by the north-west lateral stack. The ceiling has a stop-chamfered cross-beam and stop-chamfered joists; engraved on the cross-beam is a circular petal motif. A doorway to the east leads to a passage along the rear wall. Immediately on the right is a straight wooden stair, probably 18th century, with moulded handrail, narrow turned balusters and newels with decorative moulded finials. The partition between the staircase and kitchen is close-studded. The passage leads into the hall, which has a large stone fireplace with cambered timber lintel. The ceiling is of good quality, with a cross-beam with medium chamfer and ogee stops; joists also have ogee stops. A door to the left of the fireplace leads into the projecting unit, which forms a small room. The room to the east of the hall was not seen.

The cruck trusses, with arched collars, are visible to the upper storey, with two large purlins to each roof pitch. The cruck truss above the hall contains a possible former doorway.
