Pontbrenmydyr

Pontbrenmydyr is a 17th-century cottage featuring whitewashed cob walls with rounded corners and a thatched roof that has been covered in corrugated iron. The western end has a small brick chimney stack. The entrance is located at the upper western gable end, where the cob walling has been partially rebuilt. To the left of the entrance is a boarded door with a timber lintel, and to the right is a small three-light casement window. A projecting stone is present for securing the thatch. The southern side of the cottage has two nine-pane casements, although the southeast corner collapsed in 1994, exposing more of the construction technique, particularly the lath and plaster inner skin. Overall, the southern side is unusually well-preserved. The northern side, facing the track, has been rebuilt using whitewashed rubble stone and features a small four-pane casement window to the left of center.

The 19th-century additions to the cottage are also made of whitewashed rubble and have slate roofs. These additions, including the house and cow-shed, are stepped down separately, as is the outhouse with a corrugated iron roof.

The plan form, with a gable-end entry, suggests that this cottage may be older than most surviving cob-walled cottages. The chimney retains remnants of a wicker hood, which is now hidden by an inserted ceiling. A 19th-century brick range has been added to the fireplace. The roof features roughly hewn timbers with scarfed feet on the trusses, and the underside of the thatch is largely intact. There is a later partition in the rear and an outer room in the extension.
