Description
Rhysnant Fach is a one and a half storey house, built with a single pile and featuring a rear wing and a lean-to at the right gable end. The main structure is primarily brick, with decorative dentil and oversailing eaves courses, although some earlier stone walling is still visible. The house has brick end stacks, with the left gable stack projecting and featuring raking offsets.
The building appears to have been converted into two separate dwellings, likely when the rear wing was added to serve the right-hand side. There are two front doors made of plank and batten, each situated under brick cambered heads. The ground floor windows are also located under cambered heads; on the left, there is a three-light mullion window with iron frames, while on the right, there is a two-light mullion window, also with iron frames. The first floor windows are positioned under the eaves and consist of two-light mullions with metal frames. The opening casements are hung on gudgeon pins and feature decorative catches and sway fasteners. The lean-to has 19th-century wood casements under cambered heads, and the rear windows are later wood casements set in plain squared openings.
To the west of the house, there is an attractive range of brick and slate outbuildings that include original diamond pattern pierced brickwork loft ventilators.
The original layout of the house included one large room and one smaller room; the large deep inglenook from the former "hall" still exists, complete with a later wood surround. Winder stairs rise from beside this fireplace. A large deep chamfered axial beam with stepped draw stops runs through the centre of the house, and chamfered and stopped joists are exposed in the former "parlour" end room.
