Description

Nythfa is a house built in the early 19th century, featuring painted stucco and a slate roof adorned with crested terracotta ridge tiles. The eaves are supported by paired brackets, and there are short stuccoed end stacks. The building is two stories high with a five-window range. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows, while the ground floor includes square bays on both the right and left sides, each with fixed shallow bow windows made up of 4x4 panes. Between the bays, there are original 12-pane sashes flanking a central arched door opening, which contains a four-panel door topped by a radiating-bar fanlight.

A late 19th-century pent roof made of slate extends across the full width of the ground floor, hipped at the ends and featuring fish-scale slates and terracotta ridged tiles on the hips. The ornamental eaves fringe is made of turned and fretted painted timber, with pendants that carry arched nogged braces leading to short keystone-pendants. There is a small door to the right of the right window within a presumably later inserted veranda.

To the left of the main house, there is a low coach-house with a cambered-headed entry that has boarded doors and a small loft light above it. The roof of the coach-house is made of corrugated iron.

Inside, there are early 19th-century six-panel doors. The room on the right features an inserted fireplace from a house in Llandovery, with cupboards on either side and early 19th-century small-paned glazing in an enclosed corner area, likely used as a servery for an inn. An oak stair with stick balusters leads to the center of the house. The left room includes a sliding partition and a 19th-century marble fireplace.
