Description

Bryn Glas Smithy is a one-and-a-half storey house featuring two windows, with pebble-dashed walls and a slate roof that has overhanging eaves. There is a brick stack on the left side, and a projecting gabled bay on the right. The windows are large-pane margin-lit sashes from the late 19th century, set under segmental heads, with a gabled half dormer on the upper left. The central doorway, which has a boarded door, is located beneath a bracketed lean-to canopy. The right side wall includes a sash window similar to those at the front in the lower storey, along with a replaced window further to the right. At the rear, the gabled bay projects on the left side, while the right side features a gabled dormer, both with sash windows under segmental heads. Below the dormer, there is an added single-storey rear wing.

On the left (east) side of the house, there is a single-storey former smithy constructed of limewashed rubble stone with larger quoins and a slate roof. It has a segmental-headed boarded door on the right, with a shuttered window immediately to the left, followed by full-height boarded double doors. A lower gabled projection at the left end of the smithy contains a boarded door in its rear wall, and the smithy also has a rear outshut with a similar boarded door in its end wall.
