Llwynybrain Cottage

Llwynybrain Cottage is a cottage that has been colourwashed and features a roughcast exterior with a corrugated iron roof and two small chimneys on the end walls. It is one storey with a loft and has a double front, showcasing two small 4-pane sash windows and a central door set in a later lean-to porch. To the left of the cottage is an outbuilding that is lofted, which has a tiny square window left of centre and a central door below. The west end wall has a window and a blocked loft light above. There is also a small single-storey outbuilding on the east end with a door at the front. The rear of the cottage has various lean-to additions, and it is likely that the rear was originally windowless, featuring a rear door opposite the front door.

The original layout included a cross-passage with a kitchen to the west and a parlour to the east, but this has been modified by the removal of partitions, the reduction of the kitchen fireplace, and changes to the stairs, which now run up behind the parlour instead of presumably being located by the kitchen fireplace or accessed by a ladder. The rough hewn joists throughout indicate that the cottage was designed to be lofted from the beginning. The roof, now made of 20th-century pine, likely replaces the original thatch.
