Description

Maesyrychen uchaf is a building featuring rendered stonework and a slate roof with brick stacks, dating from the 17th century. It has a three-bay lobby-entry plan, with the third bay located on the right (northeast). The central entrance consists of a boarded door with old strap hinges, sheltered by a simple slate canopy. Timber casement windows are present on each floor. The main stack includes two diagonally set flues with offsetting heads, while the gable stack at the northeast end is likely a later addition.

Inside, the lobby entry plan leads to the main living hall on the right side of the axial stack, which has an inner room in the right end bay and a room, likely a parlour, to the left (southwest). The parlour features a bracketed end cross beam and a beam indicating a former partition, which predates the insertion of the stack, positioned in front of the fireplace. Both fireplaces have ashlar stone canted reveals. There is a shaped head for a central door. The living hall showcases stop-chamfered joists and an ogee-stopped chamfered spine beam. Additionally, a blocked 17th-century window is found in the rear wall of the inner room.
