Description

Bryn House is a 2-storey building with an attic, constructed of brick and whitewashed on the symmetrical front elevation. It features a slate roof with a chimney at each end. The house has dormers with hipped roofs and a central door set in a 19th-century porch, flanked by windows on each side. Above the door, there is a centrally placed window with a datestone bearing the initials GR and the date 1749. The house has two windows on each floor, with all windows except those next to the porch being multipaned cast-iron cross-framed casements. At the rear, there is an extension from the late 19th century, and the right-hand side has additional late 19th-century extensions and a washhouse.

The internal layout has been altered with the addition of partitioning and the late 19th-century extension at the rear. The entrance leads to a central passage that contains a staircase of early 19th-century design, featuring turned balusters that rise through three storeys. Rooms on either side of the passage have boxed-in beams. There are some simple panelled doors, while the doors leading to the kitchen area at the rear and the outshut are plank doors, some equipped with strap hinges. On the first floor, one room showcases chamfered and stopped beams, and timber framing is visible in the interior walls of the attic.
