Description

Bron-y-Main is an early 19th-century farmhouse constructed from local rubble stone, featuring brick quoining and dressings, brick dentilled eaves, and a hipped tile roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a cellar at the northwest end. It has three window bays, gable stacks, and two-storey, one-bay extensions at both ends.

The central entrance has a pedimented doorcase with a six-panelled door and a radial semi-circular fanlight. There are symmetrical boot scrapers on the step. The windows are sixteen-paned sashes with rubbed brick flat arches, and there are false window recesses at the attic level. A coved stone cornice runs along the top.

The end bays feature rounded outer corners and tripartite twelve-paned sash windows that wrap around, although the western extension has had these replaced, and it also has a hipped roof.

At the rear, there is a central two-bay wing that forms a T-plan, complete with a gable stack. The north and east sides have later tiled lean-to additions. The main block has two tall round-headed windows on the upper floor, one on either side, crossing the attic floor.

Bron-y-Main receives an average of 870 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 64% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 50% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 40 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 77% of listed buildings. Of these, 20 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
