Description
Bryn-yr-hydd is a gentry house from the early 19th century, appearing on the 1844 tithe map, with its facade remodeled around 1860. The building is rendered and features a hipped slate roof, standing two storeys tall. The front elevation is symmetrical, consisting of five window bays, with the central bay set forward. This bay contains a corniced door that is overlaid by a central portico supported by slender wooden Tuscan columns, with an entablature that slopes forward. Three steps lead up to a half-glazed door that is set back in a deep reveal, accompanied by double fanlights. Above the door is a tripartite plate glass window within a segmental headed opening. The two bays on either side also feature plate glass sash windows, with the ground floor windows set in shallow arches that spring from a raised horizontal band. A further horizontal plat band connects the sills of the first floor windows. At each end of the facade, there is an extra narrow half-bay that is set back. At the rear, aligned with the main structure, there is a brick service wing and a lean-to conservatory.
Inside, there is a central stair hall with a dog leg stair positioned towards the rear. Doors from the hallway lead to the library on the left, which features an elaborate fire-surround, and to the dining room on the right, which also has a timber fire surround and a door leading to the kitchen at the back. The interior includes six-panelled doors and panelled splayed window reveals.
