Ty Coch

Ty Coch is a two-storey building with roof space attic rooms, dating from the 16th century, with later alterations and additions. The front and sides are built of brick, featuring a dentil and oversailing eaves course. The rear displays exposed small square-panelled timber framing; a former wall plate is partially visible, above which are timbers inserted to raise the roof height. There are two brick end stacks and a brick stack to the right of the centre. A late 18th-century brick and timber stud lean-to with a slate roof extends to the rear, alongside a two-storey, partially rendered rubble stone wing with a brick end stack. Between these is a lean-to brick porch, all with modern glazing.

The front elevation has three window bays. The windows are paired wood casements with single glazing bars under cambered heads, and a single modern fixed light with small panes in an older opening on the ground floor. A part-glazed plank door with a moulded surround is located to the left of centre, sheltered by a brick porch with an arched opening.

Originally planned as two units featuring a hall and two smaller end rooms, the main timber-framed partition remains, with its original openings into the lower end rooms; one retains an ogee-headed door frame. The former lower end bay contains two main deep chamfered cross beams, one showing the mortices and stave holes of the original bay partition on its underside. The former hall has an end smoke bay with a chamfered and scroll-stopped bressumer and a large remodelled brick fireplace. Modern winder stairs rise alongside one stack. Two large axial beams and exposed joists were inserted in the 17th century; one beam is chamfered with scroll stops, the other is older with a wider chamfer and square-cut stops and appears to have been re-used, likely from a pair of crossbeams in an earlier ceiling arrangement. Similar chamfer and square-cut stops appear on the midrail and wall plate where exposed on the rear wall, and on an axial beam in the main room above the former hall. The extreme right-hand bay was added in the 17th century when the roof was heightened.
