Description

Tir Uched is a three-storey building constructed from rubble stone with a slate roof, featuring a double pile plan and three bays. The north elevation is symmetrical, highlighted by a central six-panelled door, which has glazed top panels and is framed by a doorcase with fluted pilasters and a triangular pediment, all set within panelled reveals. On either side of the door are timber casement French windows with three-paned overlights. The first floor showcases 12-pane sash windows, while the second floor has 6-pane sashes.

An external openwork iron verandah spans two storeys across the front, topped with a swept lead roof that returns at the northeast corner to the garden front and stops against a wing. The first-floor gallery is now supported by timber, replacing the original iron columns, and the building features wide boxed eaves.

The garden elevation consists of four bays, with the southern bay projecting as a wing beneath a hipped roof. The end bay has 16-pane sashes on the ground and first floors, and a semi-circular window on the top floor. All openings are adorned with brick dressings. A margin-glazed door with an overlight in the second bay leads under the verandah to the garden.

The interior was not accessible during the inspection in May 1995, but it is known to retain fluted door surrounds with rosette corners. A dog leg stair located behind the garden door features a handrail that is tightly turned at the bottom.
