Description

Brynawel is a late Georgian building with four storeys and a basement, featuring a three-window scribed stucco front. It has cill bands, a rusticated base, and quoins. The top floor was added later, likely around 1900. The building has a slate roof with bracket eaves and a brick chimney stack. Most windows are small pane sash, except for the centre window on the second floor. The upper floors have architraves, and the second floor features bracket cills. There is a bracket cornice above the central first-floor window, along with ornamented architraves for the flanking windows.

The central porch is pilastered and has a similarly detailed parapet and side windows. It has modern outer doors and a fine traceried fanlight. The right side elevation has a similar two-window arrangement with four storeys and a basement. The third floor features a central Arts and Crafts pointed oriel, and some sash windows lack glazing bars. There is a mutilated classical doorcase to the right that retains its entablature frieze. The left side elevation is finished in cement render.

Inside, the building retains Georgian features, including a cornice with roses in the entrance hall. A semi-circular arch with acanthus ornament, supported by paired columns, leads to a dog-leg staircase.
