Description
Abercynithon is a house built of painted brick, featuring a large hipped imitation slate roof with swept eaves and a tall rebuilt red brick chimney on the right. The building has two storeys and a five-window front. The first floor displays large 4-pane sash windows arranged in a 2-1-2 pattern, each with painted sills. Above the ground floor, there is a raised band, while the ground floor contains four large 20th-century plastic windows with cambered heads, along with a narrow window on each side of the central doorway. The broad centre doorway features 20th-century double plastic doors with an overlight, all sheltered by a 19th-century hood supported by brackets. The house sits on a rubble stone plinth capped with brick, and the window sills are recessed in brick.
On the right end wall, there is a door at the extreme right and a small cambered-headed window above it, both fitted with 20th-century glazing. A 19th-century single-storey rear outbuilding is attached, complete with a black brick chimney. The rear of the house includes a central stair light that is cross-mullioned, with similar windows on the first floor to the left and both floors to the right. There are also two blocked openings: a square window under the eaves on the centre left and a cambered-headed opening on the centre right, which is slightly lower than the upper windows and aligned over a basement door.
Inside, the layout has mostly been altered but features a central passage plan with a rear staircase. A notable feature is the fine late 17th-century open-well stair, which includes turned balusters, a moulded rail, square newels with finials, and a closed pulvinated string.
