Ty-Ficar Pritchard

This is a detached house, likely dating to the 18th century, with three bays spread across two storeys and an attic. The roof is steeply gabled and covered in slate, with substantial rubble stone chimneys – one large chimney breast on the east side, a second massive chimney adjoining it on the east end of an outshut, and a smaller stack at the west end. The eaves are low, and a catslide roof extends to the rear. The front facade is roughcast over a rubble stone base, and features a plinth. Two attic dormer windows are present, both with slate hipped roofs and slate-clad sides; one is blocked and has fixed glazing, while the other has three panes. The main front windows are relatively small and spaced toward the center, largely consisting of 19th-century six-pane horned sash windows, with the exception of a two-six-two-pane tripartite sash window on the ground floor to the left. A wide, centrally recessed moulded six-panel door with glazed upper panels provides access to the interior. The end walls and rear of the house are of whitewashed rubble stone, incorporating numerous rounded river stones. A twelve-pane sash window is visible on the second floor to the right, while the left end features a massive, projecting chimney breast with offsets, an attic window, and a second-floor five-pane sash window. A second massive chimney stack rises through the catslide rear roof. A window is located at the end of the outshut. A low rear wall includes a door and two windows, with 20th-century glazed double doors.

The house appears to be of a single build, featuring heavy, unchamfered beams regularly spaced on both floors, along with rough squared floor joists. The roof structure consists of four large, pegged oak collar trusses, also unchamfered. The interior is characterised by a central hall passage with stairs and a room on each side. The room to the east has a large fireplace beam, while the room to the west features a smaller, altered fireplace. Plank doors are found throughout, some of which have been repaired or renewed. A four-flight, dog-leg oak staircase is centrally located, with a closed string, square bead-moulded newels with caps, moulded rails, and square balusters, except for the top flight to the loft which has flat balusters. Similar newel posts are present on the attic landing. The rear outshut has heavy beams and principal rafters. A fireplace with a heavy oak lintel is situated at the east end of the outshut. The first-floor landing breaks through a thick wall between the main range and the outshut. Oak plank floors extend to the loft.
