Bryn Asaph including Gate House Range

Bryn Asaph is an asymmetrical Arts and Crafts style house, primarily dating to the early 20th century. It is constructed mainly with pebbledash rendering, slate roofs, and brick chimney stacks featuring panels and cornices. Brick quoins, window dressings, and a ground floor cornice are visible on the left side. The front façade has a two-window range facing the south, with a raised gable to the right which retains its finial and bargeboards. A dressed stone, stepped chimney breast is located centrally, incorporating a modern window on the first floor. Most windows are sash windows. A similar gable is set back to the right, over an oriel window with cross frame glazing and leaded upper lights. A modern entrance replaces an earlier pitched roof porch. A three-story square turret adjoins the right side, topped with a pyramidal roof, a finial, and small-paned windows. Further to the right is a recessed bay with a larger roof and a small-paned dormer window with splayed eaves. A recessed window is situated behind a semi-circular arch with stepped imposts to the return wall behind the turret. A gable with paired sash windows is set back to the right, and a cross range projects, forming the south range of the service courtyard, featuring a broad chimney breast and stepped corbels to the splayed angles.

The south front is gabled with three and one windows and a stepped advanced gable to the right, rendered in a similar style. Ornate, cusped bargeboards are present on the left three bays, with a finial to the right-hand gable. Windows are a mixture of styles, primarily sash, with a four-light cross frame window to the right and a two-light Gothick sash in the centre left. A cast iron verandah, incorporating multicusped, alternately narrow and broad Gothic arches in the style of Llwynegrin, Mold, wraps around the corner for a depth of one bay. This verandah was not part of the original design but was likely added by the original architect. Tudor hoodmoulds are present on the gabled rear elevation, accompanied by similarly cusped bargeboards and finials. The south range of the service courtyard mirrors this design at the rear.

Adjacent to the north is a brick gatehouse, designed by Douglas, which leads to the stable courtyard. It features a slate roof and a conical roof over the stair turret, which serves as a grooms room. Brick voussoirs form arches through to the courtyard, with the side arches now filled in. The coach house has an L-plan and modern garage openings to the rear.

Inside, the house retains a tripartite Gothic entrance. A plaque in the entrance hall commemorates the 1934 opening of the Post Office and Telecommunications Workers Convalescent Home. The drawing room features quatrefoil detail to the cornice, while the dining room fireplace is by Douglas.
