Description

Brynich Farmhouse is a house aligned east-west, with its front garden facing south. The building is stuccoed and has a slate roof. The main part of the house is two storeys high and features three windows, which were originally small-pane sashes but now include some modern units. There are end chimney stacks, and the central doorway is flanked by pilasters and topped with a flat-roofed porch. The door itself is a six-panelled design with panelled reveals.

At the west end, there is a later wing that has a south-facing projecting gabled bay, also stuccoed, which features a three-light sash window with glazing bars on each floor. This wing includes a stone stack, stone walls, and a slate roof. To the east, there is a one-storey structure. On the north side of the house, there is a tall staircase sash window, and further entrances lead to all wings of the house.

Inside, the hallway contains a contemporary wooden staircase with stick balusters and turned newels, along with contemporary panelled doors.
