Description
Brynhyfryd is a medium-sized house, likely built for an industrialist. The main part of the house, located to the right, features rendered stone with an unrendered plinth and a shallow pitched hipped roof covered in Welsh slate. It has bracketed overhanging eaves and decorative wide brick end stacks. The symmetrical two-storey front has three bays, with the central entrance bay projecting and also topped with a hipped roof. The windows are four-pane horned sashes with narrow sills and moulded surrounds, with one window in each floor of each bay and two on the sides. The entrance doorway is segmental arched and includes an overlight, raised voussoirs, a decorative keystone, and quoins with small side sashes, as well as raised end pilasters.
To the left, there is an attached earlier range made of painted stone rubble, also with a Welsh slate roof, which is divided into two parts. The section next to the main house has a higher ridge and features four-pane horned sashes on the first floor under cambered arches, along with a similarly arched window and door on the ground floor. Stepped down to the left is a range with four first-floor windows, one of which is circular, all of small pane windows under cambered arches above former stables and carriage bays that include two doorways on the right.
The interior was not inspected during the survey conducted on 30th September 1997.
