Description

Ty Gwyn is a house that was originally two homes, part of a terrace of four. The end houses have gable ends, while the center houses are double fronted, featuring pointed windows that face a similar terrace across the street. The building is constructed of whitewashed rubble and has slate roofs with Gothic details.

To the left, there is a cottage attached to Glyn Wern, which is double fronted and has small-paned lights with sharply pointed Gothic heads, interlacing glazing bars, slate sills, and plain reveals on either side of a boarded door with a narrow overlight and narrow side margins. Stone voussoirs can be seen beneath the whitewash. A large square ridge stack made of coursed rubble is located between the cottages, featuring projected coping at the top. This stack is heightened with red brick, forming a circular stack with raised coping and a tapered pot.

To the right, there is a projected gable-fronted cottage with a wavy bargeboard. It has a similar Gothic window to the left, with interlacing glazing bars and a small-paned light, painted stone sill, and whitewashed reveals. Next to it is a horned timber sash window with side margins, a stone sill, rendered reveals, and a cambered head, which was formerly a door. The building also features cast iron rainwater goods. The right end wall is gabled with a wavy bargeboard. A tripartite sash window is set towards the rear with a stone sill. The roadside is paved with cobbles.

The property was not inspected during the survey.
