Description

Bailybrith is a ruined house dating from the 16th to 17th century, constructed of rubble stone and now overgrown. An inspection was not possible in 2004. The house features a diagonal chimney and a Welsh slate roof. It has a projecting gabled porch wing with an arched-headed entrance, which includes a Tudor arched oak door with its original ironwork. Inside, all the doorways have arched Tudor heads, and the living room boasts fine ceiling beams. The property was noted to be in unspoiled condition at the time of inspection in November 2004.
