Description

Min-Yr-Afon is a building featuring a stuccoed entrance range with a slate roof that is hipped over bowed gable ends. The southeast wing is also stuccoed and has a hipped roof, while the northeast wing is constructed from roughly coursed and squared rubble, painted over, and topped with a slate roof. The main range consists of two storeys and has four windows, with a doorway located to the right of the centre in a projecting porch that features a heavy cornice and blocking course. The lower windows are 15-pane sashes, and above them are 9-pane sashes. The eaves cornice is moulded and overhanging. Each return wall is bowed and includes a sash window on each floor, with a French window on the ground floor of the south side. The higher northeast wing has a rectangular bay window that projects from the ground floor, which is a later addition, and its flat roof serves as a balcony for the tripartite French window above. A conservatory with a central gabled porch is attached to this wing on the southeast. The northeast rear wing appears to pre-date the other sections of the house, as its heavy stone walling begins to extend along the rear of the main range but is truncated, indicating the partial demolition of an earlier building line. This rear wing features wide casement windows with cambered brick heads on each floor, and an upper window retains an iron-framed leaded casement.

Inside the house, several early 19th-century details are preserved, including a staircase with slender balusters, a swept mahogany rail, and moulded tread ends. Other internal joinery features that may date from the early 19th century include internal window shutters and a panelled partition screen that divides the larger of the principal rooms in the front range.
