Description

Bryn Rodyn is a cottage that stands one-and-a-half storeys high, featuring an asymmetrical front and a half-hipped roof. It is built from white-washed brick and topped with a red-tiled roof, which has wide boarded eaves and red brick chimney stacks. The cottage has small-pane wooden casement windows. The front faces south and includes a tall ridge stack located to the right of the center.

To the left of the entrance, there is a gabled porch that is offset, with weather-boarded sides, timber struts supporting the gable, and a shallow triangular head above double half-lit boarded doors. Adjacent to the porch on the left is a two-light window with a shallow segmental head, adorned with a decorative lead hoodmould. To the right of the porch, there is a tall half-hipped dormer featuring a small window, and to the far right, there is another window similar to the one on the left of the porch.

The west end of the cottage showcases a two-storey canted bay with tile-hanging between the windows, and the lower storey windows have transoms. The rear elevation features a large projecting brick stack to the right, which is tiered and has tiled coping, supporting two diagonally-set shafts. In the center of the rear, there is a two-light window, and to the left, there is a late 20th-century brick lean-to. The upper storey has small gabled dormers on the left and in the center, both with weather-boarded gables and containing nine-pane windows. The east end has a wide casement window on the upper storey, and beneath it is a late 20th-century lean-to conservatory with a half-glazed door and window on the south side.

At the time of inspection, there was no access to the interior.
