Description

The property comprises Ty'n Coed and an attached byre. The house is a colourwashed rubble building, likely dating to the 18th century, with a steep corrugated-iron roof, wooden soffits and barges. It has gable chimneys constructed of rubble with stone drips and tabling, the one on the left being particularly thick. The asymmetrical facade is offset to the right. The upper floor has two windows with timber lintels and brick sills, a four-pane casement window to the left, and a two-pane casement to the right. The ground floor has two two-light four-pane casement windows with timber lintels and brick sills. A 20th-century window has been inserted to the extreme left. The right end features an upper two-light four-pane casement, and a shuttered ground floor window with slate sills and cambered stone voussoired heads, suggesting some 19th-century rebuilding. A rear window is a two-light design with a timber lintel.

A later, lower rubble-built byre with a slate roof was constructed to the left, replacing an earlier structure. A doorway to the right leads into the former cross-passage, which has a timber lintel. A later rubble lean-to extends to the left. The gable end has a tall plinth and loops above. The rear elevation has four doorways, with cambered stone voussoired heads; the first and third from the left are blocked and have 20th-century windows inserted.

The present entrance is into a small stair lobby; the 19th-century timber stair is secondary. The parlour on the right has roughly chamfered gable beams and a deep centre beam, the latter with a long mortise in the soffit, indicating what was once a smaller inner room. The dairy behind the parlour continues the cross-beams. Features include window shutters and a partition of horizontal boards, some featuring shallow ogee mouldings. The feet of two scarfed crucks are visible on the ground floor, as are those of a third cruck in the hall to the left. The roof structure incorporates broadly stop-chamfered cross-beams alongside the cruck-trusses. A large fireplace is partly blocked, with a blocked recess to the left (the former door to the cross-passage) and remains of a winding stone stair to the right. The first-floor rooms reveal a four-bay roof with three pairs of scarfed crucks, featuring lapped collars and yoked apexes. The soffits of the blades and collars are chamfered, with square-pegged collars and paired purlins. The underthatch consists of hazel woven between split ash rafters, layered with bracken and then wheat straw thatch. Modern stalls have been installed within the byre. The house also features stop-chamfered beams, consistent with those in the byre. The trusses demonstrate reused collared scarfed cruck-blades re-erected as collarbeam trusses with short vertical wall posts.
