Description
Brychan Yard is a former livery stable dating from 1807, featuring a three-storey front range with five windows and a lofted narrow courtyard behind. The front range has a stone ground floor, painted roughcast upper floors, and a slate close-eaved roof with a stack at the right end. The ground floor includes a tall cambered arched carriage entry in the center, which is highlighted by a finely jointed red-brick arch and a keystone inscribed 'Built 1807'. There are four 4-pane sash windows on the first floor and five on the upper floor. On either side of the central entry, there are two cambered-headed coach-house entries with alternating grey and yellow stone voussoirs and keystones. Mid-20th century shop windows and doorways have been added within each arch, with two shops on the left and one larger shop on the right.
The throughway at the rear features a flat lintel, likely altered, and leads to a two-storey section with steps on the left side leading up to a raised door. There is a center first-floor window with an iron sack-hoist to the right. The mews is a narrow courtyard surrounded by lofted buildings in painted rubble stone on three sides, which were formerly stables and a blacksmith's. The roofs are slate close-eaved, with the western end range being taller and hipped. Each side of the mews has three original ground floor openings with cambered brick heads, and three loft openings that originally featured two 2-light casements and a center low loft door. The northern range has had its upper windows lowered due to conversion into a flat and has a small pair of casements at the extreme left. The ground floor features four windows alternating with larger openings, including two square and two longer ones. To the left, there are external stone stairs leading to a loft door in the narrow western end range, and a ledged loft door is located to the right of a 20th-century triple window that breaks the eaves, above a garage opening with modern doors. The southern range remains largely unaltered. The mews retains its original cobbled surfaces, as well as cobbles on the street front outside the former coach entries.
Inside the shops in the front range, there are pine beams on each side. In the mews, one stable retains cast-iron stable fittings, with two columns at the entry and iron railings over a plank lower wall. The lofts feature 19th-century collar-truss roofs.
