Description
Ty-maen is a building constructed from rendered and colourwashed local limestone with sandstone dressings, topped with a slate roof. It features a main south-facing range of two bays with a lobby entry and a link block that connects to a cross wing at the western end, along with additional parallel ranges at the rear. The building has brick and rendered stacks and stands two storeys tall. The south front, which was remodelled around 1859, includes two-light timber windows with label hoods, while the original doorway has been altered to create French windows. The cross wing features three-light windows set within a low-pitched coped gable, and there is a raised dormer in the lower-roofed link block. Early windows can still be found in the rear stair block.
There are two four-centred chamfered stone doorframes, one of which has an incised inscription that reads 'Non nobis Domine non nobis'. Access was not available during inspections. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales notes that the room to the west of the original door was likely the hall, which contains a large fireplace in the western gable and a blocked door leading to a rear service room. Inside, broad chamfered beams with curved filleted stops are present. The eastern bay was originally the parlour, accessed from the entrance lobby, and features a large fireplace with a dressed stone surround that has cavetto mouldings and hour-glass stops, along with spandrels decorated with small ball-flowers. The hood above is ovolo-cavetto moulded. The ceiling has broad chamfered beams with filleted splayed stops. The stair projection has a stone slab roof and a single light hollow-chamfered window at landing level in the northern wall, which includes an external hood. The roof trusses support trenched purlins and likely have cambered collars. There are also traces of a 17th century or early 18th century moulded plaster cornice in the central western room.
