Description
Ty Fry is a house, likely dating to the early 18th century, constructed of rubble stone with steep, close-eaved imitation-slate roofs. A large stone chimney is located at the right end, and a smaller 20th-century brick stack is on the left. The main house is two storeys and has an attic, arranged in a cruciform plan with a two-storey gabled porch to the front and a stair gable to the rear. A lower, 18th-century service range was later added to the right.
The main house features broad, square, hornless 20-pane sash windows on each floor, positioned on either side of the porch gable. These windows have timber lintels, with some rendered over. The left pair of windows are not precisely aligned, and the first-floor window on the right is smaller than the others. Some of the sash windows replaced earlier mullion-and-transom windows. A small, blocked window with a hoodmould over an oak lintel is located on the first floor, towards the right. The porch gable has a 19th-century long 4-pane sash window on the first floor and a small, square 4-pane window on the ground floor, both with cemented lintels. The main entrance is through an arched doorway in the right-hand side wall, constructed with stone voussoirs; a small, blocked window with a hoodmould sits above it.
The service range, which is lower in height, has a central outside stone staircase leading to a loft door beneath a gabled timber porch supported by two wooden posts. The loft door has three pointed panels and cover strips. There are two small windows under the eaves to the left, and one to the right, all single casements. On the ground floor, a door is located at the extreme left, followed by a small triple casement to the left of the steps. A square window with an oak lintel is on the right side of the steps. A blocked loft opening is in the right end wall. A stone chimney has been added to the left end of the main house chimney.
A photograph from 1965 shows the rear of the property, with an outshut on each side of the stair gable. The stair gable exhibited a small attic window offset to the right, a small landing window offset to the left above the ground floor, and a plank door. The outshut on the right featured a tall corner square chimney, a first-floor 16-pane sash window, and a small ground floor window. The outshut on the left was obscured by a corrugated-iron lean-to. A small, paired window under the eaves was located on the rear of the service range, to the right of the centre.
The interior was not inspected, but is believed to feature a hall to the right, a parlour to the left, and a rear staircase. The hall and parlour both had fireplaces on the east side, although the chimney for the parlour fireplace has been removed. The hall had three beams, and the parlour had two axial beams on corbels. The staircase turned around a square central pier. Small dairy and cider rooms were located on either side of the stair, and the east kitchen range had two beams and another over the west fireplace.
