Description

Ty-crwn, formerly part of Cwm-cidy Farm, comprises a group of former farm buildings arranged around two yards facing the main farmhouse. The older rickyard is on the left, containing the former barn, engine house, and stables, while the stockyard lies to the right. These buildings have now been converted into three houses: No. 1 occupies the left (stable) wing and part of the barn; No. 2 incorporates part of the barn and the central cart shed wing; and No. 3 utilizes the rear and right-hand ranges of the stockyard.

The buildings are constructed of squared dressed limestone in regular courses, with openings featuring stone voussoir heads. They are roofed with hipped Welsh slate, and four stone chimneys have been added to the separate ranges.

The south-east elevation of the former barn, from west to east, has four wide bays with modern hardwood windows and doors in largely unaltered openings. The first bay features a large, elliptically headed entrance at ground level. This is followed by two glazed vents above a window, then a doorway accessed by an external stone staircase, and finally two more windows. The rear elevation, which was not visible during the most recent inspection, is said to have included a cartshed with four segmental headed arched entrances. Adjoining the eastern end of the rear elevation stands a polygonal engine house, constructed around 1858. Originally it had six round-headed openings, one of which was blocked and another enlarged by 1975. A lower wing (No. 2) supports the western yard. The front wall of its northern portion contains a doorway flanked by windows on either side, while the southern portion was previously an animal shed with five semi-elliptical headed openings, potentially intended as an implement shed.

The front wall of the lower south-west range (No. 1) features a doorway followed by two windows, another doorway, and a final window, all with modern hardwood joinery. North-east and north-west wings were added around 1858 to the north-east yard, matching the style and materials of the earlier structures. The front wall of the north-east range (No. 3) has four semi-elliptical headed arches towards its northern end and three openings with stone voussoirs towards the southern end, all now fitted with modern hardwood joinery. The rear elevation of this range is blank. A further range to the left has five French casements and a small window; its rear elevation was not visible at the time of resurvey. The rear wall of No. 2 on the left has a single small window.

Interiors are unlikely to retain original features beyond the roof trusses.
