Ty Mawr

Ty Mawr is a 17th-century manor house with 2-storey wings to the left and right. The main house is two storeys with an attic. It is constructed of rubble stone, with the front of the main house roughcast, and has a slate roof and end brick stacks. The three-window front faces south, with 2x2-light windows in the upper storey featuring sunk-chamfered mullions. To the left is a 3-light window with hollow-chamfered mullions and arched heads. The lower storey has a 3-light window with sunk-chamfered mullions to the right, and a 2-light window with hollow-chamfered mullions to the left. The sunk-chamfered mullions define the parlour and grand chamber. The centrally-placed front doorway has a Tudor arch with hollow mouldings. The west wing features 3-light mullioned windows on each storey, along with a narrow doorway with continuous chamfer, brought from West Plas. The east wing has a similar 3-light window in the lower storey and a 2-light window added in the late 20th century. A 20th-century conservatory is located to the west of the west wing. The rear elevation of the main house has shallow lean-to bays, one enclosing a latrine to the left, and the other containing the stair to the right.

The main house originally comprised two units, with the hall to the left. The original partition wall has been removed and replaced with a steel lintel. Original doorways have chamfered Tudor arches. The former hall contains a large gable-end fireplace with a chamfered surround and bressumer. To its left is the original doorway to the house, which retains holes for a draw bar. To the right of the fireplace was a cupboard, now pierced through to the west wing. The hall also features two cross-beams with stepped stops and reed-moulded joists, resting on moulded corbels to the rear. The former parlour has a smaller fireplace with plainer details, intended to take plaster. A chamfered round-headed doorway to the east wing, brought to the house in 1956, is located to the right of the parlour fireplace. A doorway in the rear wall of the hall leads to the stairway. This doorway is semi-circular, made of stone, and has a cross-slab roof. A further doorway at the top of the stairs leads to a flight of stone stairs contained within the gable end, up to the attic.

On the first floor, the grand chamber is located to the right and has a joist-beam ceiling with reed-moulded joists. A doorway in the rear wall provides access to the latrine. The original latrine chute survives beneath a recessed bench and is said to have been flushed by rainwater.
