Bron y Gaer

Bron y Gaer is a long, three-storey building likely dating from the late 18th century, and adjoins Plas yn Dre, which was rebuilt in 1823. The building is constructed of handmade red brick on a stone plinth, with a slate roof. A clustered brick ridge stack is offset to the left, and a brick end stack is to the right. The windows are mainly sash windows.

The north-facing entrance is set in an angle with Bron y Gaer Mews to the right, featuring a two-storey canted porch bay with a hipped roof and a two-light wooden casement window above. A late 20th-century panelled door is cut into the porch bay, aligned with the main elevation, and a brick relieving arch above the window suggests an earlier entrance existed here. A panelled door with a lattice-glazed light and overlight, under a segmental brick head, leads to a through-passage between the properties. A lean-to slate canopy, supported by a narrow timber post, is situated in front of the porch bay.

The main range has two six-pane sash windows in the attic storey. Below, a twelve-pane hornless sash, with a segmental brick head, is aligned to the left on the first floor, and a renewed sixteen-pane sash is on the ground floor.

The south side features a sixteen-pane horned sash to the right and a four-light wooden casement under a timber lintel to the left, inserted later. A six-pane sash under a segmental brick head serves as a stair-light at a mid-level. The first floor has a tall twelve-pane horned sash under a segmental brick head to the left. The attic has two windows immediately under the eaves: a horizontal sliding sash to the left and a six-pane sash to the right.

A long lean-to extends along the west gable end, accessible from the through-passage to the north, with a twelve-pane horned sash to the upper storey on the north side. The south wall of the lean-to is slightly angled to the right and contains a sixteen-pane sash, infilling a higher blocked opening with a timber lintel; a 20th-century top-hung window is to the left. A flat-roofed block is attached to the west end.

The interior includes a staircase with wide, dog-leg steps rising to three storeys, featuring a swept moulded handrail, two moulded balusters per tread, decorated tread ends, and unchamfered ceiling beams.
