Description
Brechfa House is a 1½-storey house built in the Arts and Crafts style, featuring rustic rubble elevations and a battered plinth. It has a distinctive mansard roof with swept bracketed eaves, covered with concrete tiles that mimic the look of original hand-riven slates. The brick stacks were rebuilt in the late 20th century. The windows are small-pane casements, most of which have rubble voussoirs, and some still show stays that indicate the presence of original shutters.
The front of the house has three bays, with a central projection that includes a 2-light window on the lower storey and a 3-light window in the attic. The original entrance is located on the right side wall, featuring a boarded door beneath a bracketed hood. The left side wall has a corresponding narrow window, while there is a 3-light window on the right side but no window in the left-hand bay. The end walls each have a single-window, and on the right side, there is a single-storey lean-to. This lean-to includes a 2-light window with shutters on the left, followed by a boarded door, another 2-light window, a half-lit boarded door, and at the right end, a 2-light window that has replaced an original doorway. At the rear, there are 3-light dormers flanking a central 2-light dormer, and on the right side of the lower storey, there is an added conservatory.
Although the interior was not inspected, it is reported to retain beamed ceilings and plain brick fireplaces. The house suffered fire damage around 1980.
