Ty-coch

A three-bay cruck house ranging north-west to south-east, on a level site. The main exterior feature is the fine timber framing exposed on the south-east gable, five panels high between massive crucks (up to about 600 mm wide) with V struts and a small yoke at the top. The rear (north-west) gable is box framed, but concealed by modern cladding. The side wall to south-west is rebuilt in stone or brick and rendered and the north-east side is occupied by a large wing in stone which has been enlarged to the rear. Timber framing is also seen in part of the porch added on the south-west side (mainly rendered) and at the rear of the north-east extension.

Slate roofs with tile ridges; brick chimney stacks including that of the main chimney between the south-east and middle bays of the main range and a corner stack at the west corner. One small rooflight is inconspicuously sited at the east side of the main range.

The house has been restored with small-pane timber windows throughout. The main gable to south-east has two upper windows and one lower window; the south-west elevation has two dormer windows and three lower windows.

A three bay hall plan with inserted chimney to south of the middle bay and a screen of post and panel type partitioning the north bay. The original entrance positions are not apparent. The cross-beam at north of the hall is about 300 mm from the screen. Three fine pairs of crucks, which appear to be complete. The upper timbering of the north-west box-framed gable is only visible internally, consisting of close diagonal bracing above tie beam level.
