Description
Tyle House is a Grade II listed T-shaped house built from local limestone rubble, featuring a Welsh slate gabled roof with stone coping. It has a double flued stone stack near the center, a flanking stone stack on the left gable, and an external chimney breast with a stack on the right gable. The house has two storeys with an attic storey and a projecting gabled wing on the south-east elevation, which has had its attic storey added at a later date.
The main front, or south-east elevation, has casement windows with small panes, most of which have been renewed. At the south-west end, there is a 6 + 6 pane casement window above and a late 20th-century 18 + 18 pane window under a relieving arch below. The south-east gable end of the projecting wing features a small ground floor 3 x 2 pane window with a segmental relieving arch above, and a small rectangular window opening with 2 x 2 panes on either side of the ghost of the previous gable on the first and attic floors. To the right of the projecting wing, there is a three-window wide front, with the middle and right-hand ground floor windows having segmental relieving arches above, all being small pane casements. The entrance is located in the angle between the right-hand and projecting wing. The roofs are steeply pitched.
The rear elevation has a continuous lean-to and a gabled storeyed projection for the stair near the center. Only the ground floor was observed during the resurvey, confirming the features noted at the listing in 1973. The north-east ground floor room has an original fireplace and double ceiling with ovolo moulded beams, one of which is inscribed 'RP 1658'; the middle window in this room is thought to retain remains of an ovolo moulded oak frame. The projecting wing is said to retain a corbelled fireplace and an original wooden boarded door on the first floor. The south-west ground floor room features an original fireplace with massive stone jambs and a lintel, along with a stone stair to the right. Some original roof trusses with lapped collar joints are believed to remain. These features are confirmed by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, where the house is fully illustrated.
