Description

Tan-y-Fron is a 2-storey brick building with slate roofs, featuring broad overhanging eaves and brick axial and end wall stacks. The structure consists of two buildings arranged in a 5-window range, each symmetrically designed with a central entrance. Both doorways have moulded architraves supported by slim brackets under an entablature hood. The farmhouse to the right has a 6-panelled door, while the shop has a glazed panelled doorway. Above the doorways are traceried overlights. The flanking windows are small-paned iron casements with mullions and transoms, showcasing interlaced tracery in the upper lights, although there is a later canted bay window to the right of the farmhouse doorway. The first floor features similar windows, including a 2-light window above the door of the wider farmhouse. The window surrounds have stressed brick quoins and rubbed brick heads, with brick angle quoins. The front garden of Tan-y-Fron is enclosed by iron railings with twisted finials.
