Description

Brynllys is part of a row of five mid-19th century houses located in Levant, Rhiwlas, Brynllys, Penlanfair, and The Bakery. The first three houses exhibit Regency character and are constructed from rendered stone, featuring stone stacks and bracketed eaves, with slate roofs. The roofs of Penlanfair and The Bakery are at a lower level. All houses are two storeys high, with Levant, Rhiwlas, and Brynllys also having basements. Each house has a three-window front with painted sills.

Levant features an Ionic porch with a dentilled entablature. Rhiwlas and Brynllys have half-column doorcases with unusual bulbous necks on the columns and plain entablatures. Levant and Rhiwlas have recessed doors with panelled reveals and radiating bar fanlights, while Brynllys has similar reveals but a rectangular traceried overlight. All three houses boast good eight-panelled doors. The first floor windows have twelve panes, and the ground floor windows have sixteen panes, except for Rhiwlas, which has sixteen-pane sashes on both floors. All three houses are enclosed by iron railings, with Levant's railings featuring an additional quatrefoil pierced mid-rail. Projecting stones on the left corner of Levant indicate that the row was originally intended to be longer.

Penlanfair is finished in painted roughcast with stucco dressings, featuring twelve-pane sashes, a six-panelled door, and a traceried rectangular fanlight. The openings have raised shouldered surrounds with keystones, and the facade is offset to the left.

The Bakery is positioned slightly forward of the other four houses and lacks visible stacks. It is roughcast and has twelve-pane sashes, except for the ground floor left window, which is a former shop window with twenty panes. The house includes interior and exterior glazed doors with rectangular fanlights.
