Description
The Bryn is a 2-storey and attic brick house with an asymmetrical 3-bay gabled front, influenced by the architect Philip Webb. It features steeply pitched slate roofs and brick chimney stacks, with guttering dated 1913. The building has rusticated quoins and a plinth. Most of the windows are 12-pane sash windows, some with cambered heads and voussoirs, complete with keystones. The right side has an advanced and lower bay with one window in the gable above an arched entrance that has a stepped splay and a 6-panel door. The central bay is set back, while the left bay is advanced and includes a small-pane bullseye attic window, with a similar window below it.
The right side is asymmetrically gabled and features similar detailing, including a segmental head to the attic window and a blind arched head to the staircase window on the left. The garden front is symmetrical with 3 bays, featuring gabled attics over 2-storey, 2-window squared bays that have shaped parapets. The small-pane sash windows are arranged in pairs, with taller windows on the ground floor and freestone lintel bands. The central bay has a hipped roof dormer and a broad segmental arch leading to a recessed verandah that opens onto a terrace with rounded ends and brick walls. To the right is a 2-window hipped roof with windows that rise through the eaves, although modern windows have been added to the floor; there is also a greenhouse to the right.
At right angles to the main house is a 1-storey and attic brick former conservatory, featuring a slate gablet roof, cross roof attic, shingled gables, and small-pane casement windows. It has rusticated quoins and a brick chimney stack, connected to the main house by a panelled door under a lean-to hood. A hipped roof extension at the rear forms the northwest side of a service courtyard, while the northeast side is formed by an outbuilding with conical ventilators, and the southeast side is enclosed by the rear elevation.
Internally, the house retains good original details, including a dog leg staircase to the right with barley twist balusters and a swept handrail, as well as arched doorways. There are fireplaces dated 1912 in the hall and dining room, both carved by Mr. Watts and featuring Dutch-style glazed tiles. The extensive cellars still show evidence of the house's use by troops during the war.
