Ty-Cooke Farmhouse

Ty-Cooke Farmhouse is a two-star listed building constructed from local sandstone rubble, partly pebbledashed, with cement banding around the windows, a modification made in 1950. The rear of the house is partially lime rendered, and it features concrete tile roofs. The main block is three storeys high with four bays, facing north, and has a full-height gabled wing projecting at the rear.

On the north elevation, the door is located in the third bay and is set under an altered elliptical head. There are three windows on the ground floor and four on the second floor, all of which have 3-light mullion-and-transom casements with delicate framing. The casements are flat fronted with ogee mouldings on the interior, designed to hold glass from the first. Some of the windows still have small panes, while others have been reglazed with single sheets, although the heads retain small panes. The iron reinforcing bars are still present, and the second-floor windows also feature 3-light small paned casements. The roof is plain with end stacks that have been rebuilt in machine-cut stone. The left gable has two windows, while the right gable was not observed.

The rear (south) elevation was not closely inspected but is noted to have 2 and 3-light Victorian timber casements and a very large lateral stack on the rear wall of the main block.

The interior was not seen during the resurvey, but it is reported to have a large entrance hall featuring a Victorian white marble fireplace, which was relocated from Maindiff Court, Llantilio Pertholey, the residence of Crawshay Bailey Jr. around 1875, now demolished. The parlour is said to have original full-height panelling and an early 20th-century black marble fireplace, along with panelled shutters on the windows. The rear wing includes a plain staircase with three flights around a square pier, and there is a stone garderobe off the staircase on the first floor, illuminated by a small stone window, an archaic feature for a house of this period.
