Description
Ty'n-y-Corn is a late 19th-century building constructed from colourwashed rubble, featuring a three-bay front that is offset to the right. It has a slate roof with wooden soffits and broad rendered gable chimney-stacks. The front includes late 19th-century four-pane horned sash windows, which are smaller on the first floor, with timber lintels above and stone lintels below. The central door is boarded and has a concrete lintel. At the rear, there are two small single-pane windows with stone lintels, and a 20th-century window on the ground floor to the left.
To the left of the main building is a later lower former lofted stable, which has an upper four-pane window that rises to the eaves, a modified four-pane horned sash window on the ground floor left, and a boarded door with a concrete lintel. The left end features a boarded loft door with a timber lintel and a window below to the left with a stone lintel. There is also a four-pane window at the rear that rises to the eaves.
To the right, there is a later single-storey building, likely a former cowshed. The downslope half of this structure is in ruins, while the remaining part has been remodelled as a store, with a sloping asbestos sheet roof replacing the original pitched roof.
Inside, the left-hand ground floor room features a complete wickerwork fireplace hood, which is boxed in at the first-floor level. This hood is made from a basket-work pyramid resting on a beam supported by four courses of stone above the actual fireplace.
