Description

Brynawel and Tremafon are two houses featuring a rock-faced rubble lower section with a timber-framed upper floor front, which is infilled with finely laid red brick. They have slate roofs and are bilaterally symmetrical in design, with entrance doors located near the center, separated by a projecting stone screen wall. Each outer bay has a wide gable that jetties from black painted jowled timber posts, which rise from an outsetting plinth. The gables include vertical studs with small curved braces in the end bays. The roofs project and have bargeboards decorated with openwork acorn motifs inspired by the family arms. There are red brick stacks on the inner side of each gable. The houses feature leaded wooden windows, with the main gable window being six lights wide, and gabled dormers above the center bays that have similar but smaller bargeboards. The ground floor windows have blue-brick sills set in stonework. A datestone is set in the wall of Tremafon, carved with family arms and the initials D.W.S, dated 1912. The windows and door of Brynawel have been replaced.
