Bronyffynnon aka Hen Cartref

This is a largely Georgian town house, though its front wall shows evidence of earlier construction and later remodelling, suggesting a complex history. It dates back to the late 16th century, with significant alterations in the 18th century.

The house is a symmetrical three-storey building raised above a basement. It is constructed of limestone rubble with a slate roof and tiled cresting. The chimneys are Victorian, one of yellow stock brick with red brick banding and moulded upper courses, and the other reduced in height. Five steps lead up to a central entrance with a semi-circular open porch made of cast stone. The porch features a simple entablature with two free-standing and two engaged columns with octagonal bases. The entrance door is made of six panels, with a fanlight and architrave incorporating sunk panels below consoles. The ground and first floor windows have cambered heads, recessed glazing, and projecting stone sills. The ground floor has plain sash windows; the original windows on the first and second floors retain their original, unhorned sashes, with 16 and 12 panes respectively. A modern window with a concrete lintel is present in the basement to the left of the porch.

The interior retains significant structural detail from the original late 16th century house, including a partially vaulted basement and a three-bay roof structure composed of arch-braced trusses with three tiers of purlins. Contemporary timber framing is also present: the first floor framing includes chamfered paired axial beams, with dovetail-jointed transverse beams (chamfered in the right-hand bay only), and heavy joists dovetailed into the beams (except in the central bay). 18th century plasterwork respects the earlier beamed structure. The west gable on each floor retains original fireplaces with stop-chamfered bressumers. The second floor still has a garderobe with a pegged frame adjacent to the fireplace. The original layout, likely two rooms on the ground floor and possibly a single room on each upper floor, was altered in the 18th century to create the current three-bay plan with a central entrance/stair hall. Other interior details are contemporary with this remodelling, including moulded plasterwork on the ground-floor ceilings and wall paintings (imitating paper) based on stencilled circles in the first floor west room.
