Description

Mynydd Brith is a detached house built from whitewashed rubble stone, topped with a slate roof and featuring whitewashed stone square end stacks, with the left stack being larger. The house is two-storey and has a three-window range that is offset to the right. The windows are irregularly spaced, with a one-window bay to the right and a two-window section to the left of the center. The upper floor has three plate sashes, while the ground floor has a 12-pane sash on either side of the doorway, with lower openings that have cambered heads and all windows featuring slate sills. There is a slate step leading up to a 20th-century half-glazed door.

The north end wall is made of rubble stone and has no windows. The whitewashed right end wall includes a square 9-pane attic window in the upper right and a 4-pane window on the ground floor, located in the end of a rear outshut, both of which have stone voussoirs. The house has a rear left outshut and a lower two-storey narrow rear wing to the right, which has a slate roof and a stone end stack. The north side of the wing has a single 20th-century plate window with a top-opening light and a doorway below with a 20th-century half-glazed door. The south side is partly clad in 20th-century render and has two 20th-century plate windows breaking the eaves above under flat heads, along with a single larger 20th-century plate window below.

Inside, there is a renewed boarded hall passageway that leads to a boarded dogleg stair incorporated in the outshut. The left room on the ground floor has a ceiling height of 2.44 meters and features exposed pine beams supporting wide first-floor boarding, as well as an arched inglenook with a bread oven. A door leads to the rear wing, which contains a small kitchen with the original bread oven beneath a reconstructed wicker chimney hood. Upstairs, the landing provides access to three rooms in the main part of the house and one in the rear wing. The three main bedrooms have two-panelled doors, are separated by boarded partitions, and have boarded ceilings. The room above the inglenook features built-in cupboards on either side of the chimney. Another door leads to a narrow dogleg stair that ascends to the attic, which has a lath and plaster partition in the southern third and pegged pine roof trusses.
