Description
The property comprises a gabled outbuilding range located to the right of Maesyfed. The range includes a late 19th-century two-storey domestic range constructed of red brick, distinguished by twin gables and a gabled porch. It has a slate roof, a brick end stack, and a replaced door now featuring a modern window with a fanlight. Windows are large, multi-pane lights with chamfered frames. An early 19th-century rubble stone wing adjoins, with a rendered studwork front, a brick end stack, a glazed door, and an upper window sash with horns. A shop front elevation is rendered with studwork and has a raised roofline and a hipped slate roof. A central double door is framed with boards and has a large overlight. The ground floor features large multi-pane lights, while the upper floor has twelve-pane sashes with horns in older, flush-set moulded surrounds. A mid-19th century two-storey gable wing adjoins to the right, originally used as a storeroom and outfitters, and is characterised by decorative bargeboards, a large multi-pane upper window, and double boarded doors. A later 19th-century two-storey laundry range is constructed of brick with a brick stack and a slate roof. The rear elevations show lean-tos built of rubble stone and brick, extending from the original house and the shop. The original portion of the house features walls raised in stud and weatherboards, along with a stud extension with large multi-pane windows to provide light for a tailor’s workroom and a large rubble stack.
A mid-19th-century building, known as The Tea House, was originally constructed as a warehouse and coachhouse serving the former general stores. This one-and-a-half storey structure is built of painted rubble stone with a tin roof, and features decorative bargeboards. It has a “Gothic” window with an ashlar arched head in the east gable, large double doors below, and a further double door at the west end. Internally, it is plastered throughout, with exposed beam and joists and a plain staircase. A later 19th-century stud and weatherboarded premises, formerly a seed merchant, adjoins the Tea House at the west end.
The original core of the building dates to the 18th century and consists of a square-panel, timber-framed, two-unit house with a large rubble end stack. It originally included an open fireplace with a timber lintel, a stone-lined bread oven, and an inglenook seat (partly rebuilt recently). It contains exposed scroll-stopped beams and a modern staircase. An early 19th-century rubble stone wing butts up to the timber frame, incorporating an axial beam with a step stop, and a rubble fireplace with a brick cambered lintel. The former shop was likely remodelled in 1805 and retains a boarded floor and board-lined walls. Significant elements remain, including a U-plan counter with some early oak examples and later panelled deal examples with drawers beneath. Incomplete but substantial survival of floor-to-ceiling open shelving and drawer runs also exists. Two cast-iron pillars support boxed beams. Six-panel doors lead to a rear lean-to that was formerly used for bakery storage, featuring original shelving and a boarded ceiling. A boarded door marked "Gentlemen Only" connects to storerooms containing a gentlemen's outfitters on the first floor. A staircase with a scroll-ended handrail leads to good-quality shop fittings, including a cast-iron fireplace and a panelled overmantel. From there, access is available to a former ironing room set above the laundry, a single large room with matchboarded walls and large multi-pane windows with chamfered frames. First-floor rooms in the house feature six-panel doors and cast-iron fireplaces.
