Ty Mawr

The main house is 2-storey with attic and has lower 2-storey wings to L and R. Of rubble stone (the front of the main house is roughcast) with slate roof and end brick stacks. The 3-window front faces S and has, in the upper storey, 2x 2-light windows with sunk-chamfer mullions, and to L a 3-light window with hollow chamfers and arched heads. The lower storey has, to R, a 3-light window with sunk-chamfer mullions and to L 2-light window with hollow-chamfer mullion. The sunk-chamfer mullions define the parlour and grand chamber of the house. The front doorway is centrally-placed and has a Tudor arch with hollow mouldings. In the W wing are 3-light mullioned windows in each storey and a narrow doorway with continuous chamfer brought from West Plas. In the E wing is a similar 3-light window in the lower storey and a 2-light window added late C20. (To W of W wing is a C20 conservatory.) In the rear elevation of main house are shallow lean-to bays, the L enclosing the latrine, the right the stair.

The main house was 2-unit, of which the hall was to L (the original partition wall is removed and replaced by a steel lintel). Original doorways have chamfered Tudor arches. The former hall has a large fireplace in the gable end with chamfered surround and bressumer. To its L is the original doorway to the house, inside which are holes for a draw bar. To R of the fireplace was a cupboard, now pierced through to the W wing. The hall has 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). (To R of parlour fireplace is a chamfered round-headed doorway to E wing, brought to the house in 1956). In the rear wall of the hall is another doorway, leading to the stairway. This is semi-circularand and of stone with a cross-slab roof. At the top is another doorway, leading to a further flight of stone stairs, contained with the gable end of the house, to the attic.

On the first floor is the grand chamber to R, which has a joist-beam ceiling with reed-moulded joists. In the rear wall is a doorway to the latrine. The original latrine chute survives beneath a recessed bench and is said to have been flushed by rain water.
