Dyffryn Arms Public House

The Dyffryn Arms Public House is a two-storey building with a three-bay symmetrical façade, featuring a central entrance bay that has a pediment and projects slightly. To the right, there is a lower two-storey wing that is set back. The exterior is finished in painted roughcast, with small pane 12-light sash windows that have raised keystone architrave surrounds and projecting cills. The roofs are covered with slate, and there are brick gable stacks.

A round-headed plaque is recessed in the gabled pediment, displaying the date 1845 and the words ‘LLWYN-CELYNEN’ surrounding a depiction of a tree. Above the entrance door, there is a timber pub sign that reads ‘DYFFRYN ARMS, FREE HOUSE – BURTON – BASS, PROPRIETOR BESSIE DAVIS’. The right wing has two offset bays, with a door located on the ground floor against the gable of the pub and a small window to the side, along with two similarly sized windows above, all of which have been replaced.

Inside, the ground floor features a central corridor with a red and black quarry tiled floor and 1930s brown and black dado tiling. There are doors at the end leading to rooms on the left and right. The left room serves as the ‘bar’ and includes a three-light sliding sash window in the rear wall that opens onto the ground floor cellar in the rear extension. This room also has a red and black quarry tile floor and a late 20th-century stone fireplace. The right room is a lounge, which can also be accessed from a passage in the right-hand extension. There is a cellar in the rear extension that was modernised around 1950.
