Description

Ty Newydd is a substantial, two-phase Georgian farmhouse dating from the 18th century. The house is built of red brick, with the lower section using a random bond and the added upper floor employing an English Garden Wall bond; it has a limestone rubble plinth. The roof is slate, with slab coping to the gable parapets and shaped sandstone kneelers, and projecting end chimneys. The symmetrical front facade has three bays, with a central entrance featuring an oak fielded six-panel door, the upper two panels now glazed. Flanking this are tripartite windows to the ground floor, with six-pane casement sections and segmentally arched heads. Regular, though unevenly spaced, two-part twelve-pane casement windows are arranged symmetrically on the upper floors, each with cambered heads. The rear elevation is characterised by two full-height gables, mirroring the roof detailing, and double and tripartite casement windows on the eastern side, similar to those on the front. There are also tripartite late Georgian sash windows to the ground and first floors on the west side, featuring twelve-pane central sections with narrow four-pane flanking sections and flat brick arches. A late Victorian two-storey cottage, built of roughcast brick with whitened brick dressings and a renewed slate roof, adjoins the main house on the northwest corner; it has plain-glazed wooden windows of a transmullioned design.

A curved section of late 18th-century garden wall, approximately 2.5 metres high, adjoins the farmhouse to the right (east), separating the garden from the farmyard. It is built of rubble with brick facing to the garden side, again in English Garden Wall bond, and incorporates an entrance with a stone surround and boarded door within a pegged frame.

The principal room on the ground floor (right) contains stopped-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, exhibiting features suggestive of a 17th-century origin, likely reused in the construction of the farmhouse. It also has boxed lateral beams. A late Georgian straight-flight staircase ascends to the first floor, featuring square newels and stick balusters. The upper flight of stairs, leading to the second floor, is from the early 18th century and was likely originally the lower flight in the primary house. It has turned balusters, a moulded rail, and square newels with flat capping. There is a fielded six-panel door to the first floor along with an early two-panel door; the remaining doors are simple six-panel affairs with plain wide architraves.
