Description
Bryn-hyfryd is a house that has been completely rendered and painted, likely over local rubblestone, and features a natural slate roof. The main part of the house has a double depth central entry plan, while the original wing is single depth. The entrance elevation displays the gable end of the original house on the left and the later addition on the right. The gable end features a small casement window with a hoodmould on the left and a doorway on the right, which are the only external signs of the house's 17th-century origins. The entrance includes a part-glazed door with a 20th-century timber porch.
To the right, the lower wing has a central gabled porch flanked by 8 over 8 pane sash windows on the ground floor, and 6 over 6 sash windows above, positioned just under the eaves. A plaque above the porch reads 'M F.E 1765 BRYN HYFRYD'. The roof has a moderate pitch and includes two brick stacks, one centrally located and the other on the right gable. The right return features a single-storey lean-to, with a triangular plaque in the gable that states 'M F.E 1762'.
The rear elevation of the left-hand wing has two 8 over 8 sash windows on the ground floor and two 6 over 6 sash windows above, with a wide section of blind walling to the right. The render conceals the walling, but it is likely that this section was heightened and re-roofed in the 19th century. The roof is plain with a brick stack at the top right gable. The rear elevation of the rest of the house is not visible.
Inside, the character is mainly from the late 19th and 20th centuries. The fireplace in the 17th-century room has been removed, as has the stair beside it, although the stair window remains. The upper floor has not been seen.
