Ty Isaf

Ty Isaf is a house, likely dating from the 18th century, with later additions and alterations. The main house is white-painted roughcast with a slate roof and flat eaves; it is built into a bank, resulting in a rear entry at a level above the first floor. There are three 20th-century dormers with fretted bargeboards and finials, and the windows are primarily C20 uPVC, with 12-pane hornless sashes to the upper floors. The front has two large, later 19th-century canted bay windows with plate-glass sashes and moulded cornices on the ground floor and a C20 half-glazed door with an overlight in the centre. The north and south end walls are of rubble stone with overhanging verges; the right-hand end features a sash window on each upper floor and a ground-floor conservatory. The rear is of rubble stone with flat eaves and two tall, 20th-century black brick eaves chimneys.

A lower rubble stone range runs downslope from the left end of the main house, with a facade facing north. On the north side of this range, and spanning the north end of the main house, is a two-storey house with a stone stack raised in brick at its east end. The north front of this house has two eaves-breaking 4-pane sashes with fretted bargeboards and finials, mirroring those on the front dormers, along with a single similar sash below the eaves. A small 19th-century canted bay with hipped roof and 2-4-2-pane glazing is situated on the ground floor to the left, with a blocked door to the right. A garage range runs downhill and was formerly partly residential, evidenced by the chimneys within two internal walls. A single-storey range, at the extreme left, has a 20th-century door providing access to the upper residential section, followed by three garage or cart-shed entrances. The lintels to these entrances step downhill, with the first two having C20 cemented surrounds, and the third a C20 timber lintel. The gable end has overhanging eaves. To the rear, facing an entrance court, are two blocked doors with stone voussoirs in the lower end, and one 20th-century window to the right. A two-storey section is located in the angle to the house, with roughcast finish and a 9-pane sash window on the first floor.

The main house is one room deep with a central staircase. A brick and timber cavity wall is said to exist behind the ground-floor rear wall. The centre staircase has stick balusters, a closed string, and bulbous turned newels, likely dating from the 1840s to 1850s. The garage range includes a fireplace in the wall between the second and third garages, a slate floor, a blocked rear window with a timber lintel in the second garage, and two doors, one of which is blocked. The upper garage also has a chimneybreast.
