Description
Gwyryd House is a substantial town house dating from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of unpainted rubble stone with a low-pitched slate roof and rendered end stacks. The front elevation features three bays and three storeys, with distinctive purple Caerfai sandstone quoins and red brick detailing to the heads of the ground and first floor windows. The windows are late 19th-century sashes, with smaller top panes to the ground floor and four panes above. The attic windows are square 9-pane casements. Slate sills are present. The central entrance has an overlight and a brick head, now set within a large 20th-century rubble stone porch featuring a broad, flattened-arched entry. A rear outshut has a rebuilt brick stack in the southeast corner. A shallow front garden is enclosed by a low rubble wall with a decorative mid to later 19th-century cast-iron low rail and a matching iron gate, all in a Gothic style.
