Description
Bryn Vyrnwy is a T-shaped two-storey house built in the restrained Arts and Crafts style. It features irregularly coursed rock-faced slate and has a large timber-framed lean-to porch on the west side, along with a single-storey annexe on the east side. The roofs are covered with red tiles and have timber bargeboards on the east-facing gable only, while the other gables have projecting verges supported by exposed purlins and wallplates. Red brick chimneys add to the character of the building.
The house is approached from the west side, where the left gable includes a timber oriel window on timber brackets above a corner bay window that is set at an angle. Both windows feature small pane glazing in their top lights only. The porch is located at the centre of the west side, with timber weatherboarding on its right flank and a small window above. On the north side, there is a two-light small-pane window beneath a rise in the eaves and a three-light similar window below, in addition to the corner bay window. The south-facing gable has a three-light timber casement window above and below, both with small-pane glazing and segmental arches and sills. On the east side, the gable features a three-light casement window with small pane glazing above, along with a stone sill and lintel. There is a small window on the left flank of the gable. The single-storey east extension has a tile roof with a slightly lower pitch, featuring a heck door to the south, as well as a door, small window, and hatch on the east side.
