Ty-newydd

Ty-newydd is a house featuring a main range and a crosswing, situated on a platform site that slopes sharply to the front (south) and left. Where the ground is low, the house is elevated on a stone podium. The main range is entirely constructed of brickwork, painted white, and at the front, it mimics black and white timber framing. The left crosswing retains its original timber framing, except for its west side wall, which has been replaced with brickwork and also painted to imitate black and white timber framing.

The front (south) gable wall of the crosswing is particularly striking, framed with two panels high per storey and featuring a gable that is three panels high, with braces to the tie beam and decorative herringbone bracing in the lowest panels of the gable. The rear gable wall is similar but lacks decoration, except for V struts at the apex. The roofs are slate, with the crosswing roof slightly higher than that of the main range, and there are two large ribbed stacks made of grey stone, connected at the caps.

An unusual feature of the house is the recess on the rear side against the central chimney, where the roof continues without interruption. Inside this recess is a rounded external projection made of stone with a slate roof, which is a very large bread oven.

At the front, a small porch has been created in the angle, accessed by brick steps. The windows are timber casements that align with the timber framing panels.

The interior layout follows a lobby-entrance design with a large central chimney. This includes a large fireplace on the east side (in the main range) and a smaller fireplace on the west side (in the crosswing), with a large bread oven integrated into the right side of the larger fireplace, extending considerably outside. The parlour, which is the main room of the crosswing, is noted to have two main beams with ovolo-enriched stops and arched doorways leading to the rear rooms, and the roof is said to feature windbraces.
