Description

Bryn Ucha is a small, two-storey farmhouse built from local slatey rubble stone and topped with a slate roof, facing south. A tall brick chimney stack is located to the left of the house. A prominent feature is the sandstone plaque above the porch, which measures approximately 1 meter square and displays a heraldic shield with three roses, surrounded by decorative elements that include the date 1695. The plaque also features the initials P / E S and the Salusbury motto 'Na werth y nef / Er benthyg byd,' along with a decorative outer border and quarter-round moulding. Although the stone appears out of place, it seems original since there are no signs of disturbance around it.

The entrance doorway is located behind a 20th-century wooden porch. On the left side, each floor has a single 12-pane Yorkshire-sash window, and between the floors, a small window provides light to the staircase. The front of the house has been heavily whitewashed, while the west gable end is rendered. The rear features a single Yorkshire-sash window on the first floor and a ground floor window, which has lost its lights. There is also a small ground floor window to the right. The east gable end has no openings.

Attached at a right angle to the right of the porch is a small bakehouse, constructed of stone with a slate roof and featuring a brick chimney for the bread oven at the front gable. The bakehouse has a doorway leading towards the house and a blocked window at the rear.

The farmhouse has a single cell plan, with the only source of light coming from the window to the left of the porch. A partition separates a small rear scullery. The interior details are from the 19th century, featuring a wooden stair to the left of the entrance, simple boarded doors, and sawn timbers in the roof, although the upper storey is currently unsafe to enter.
