Description
Ty-derwen, also known as Oaklands, is a two-storey house built to face south towards farmland, with its rear side facing the road. The front of the house is constructed from axe-dressed local limestone, while the sides and rear are made of rubble masonry. There are two rear wings, and the house has a slate roof featuring end chimneys on both the main range and the rear wings, with all chimneys having paired square limestone shafts that meet at the cornice level.
The front elevation presents a symmetrical arrangement of three windows flanking a central door. All windows are hornless sash type with 12 panes. The sills of the upper windows extend across as a string course, although this does not continue at the sides. The entrance features a four-panel semi-glazed door with a small overlight that includes margin glazing. On the left (west) elevation of the main range, there are single windows of a similar style, while the right (east) side elevation has a 12-pane window above and a four-pane window below.
Each rear wing is slightly recessed on the sides. The west wing contains a 16-pane window both above and below, while the east wing has a 12-pane window above and below in the first section, followed by a lower roof section that features a 12-pane window above a door and a small window, along with two single-storey sheds.
