Ty Bronna

Ty Bronna is a two-storey dwelling with an arcaded ground floor loggia, sited along a slope with its entrance positioned in the short west end and its long south-facing front. The elevations are roughcast over red brick, with battered buttresses rising from eaves to ground. The steeply pitched hipped roof is currently covered in corrugated steel sheeting and carries two large rendered chimneys with clay pots to the ridge; one runs along the ridge, the other across it.

The fenestration features bands of mullioned windows with exposed stone dressings, predominantly metal casement glazing with rectangular cames, though much of this glazing has been destroyed or removed. The west entrance end has a porch with square pillars supporting an upper floor room with a hipped roof; wooden casement windows originally lit the front and south sides, though these have since been removed. To the right of the porch, a tall narrow window lights the stairs, with squarish windows at eaves level. A camber-headed recessed doorway with slate steps contains a half-glazed original door.

The south front is divided into three bays by buttresses. The top floor windows, set at eaves level, originally had stone mullions and are arranged in strips. The first floor contains a recessed balcony at its centre, though the rebuilt parapet supported on buttresses is now blocked. A dripmould runs over the first floor windows, similar to those above. At ground level, a recessed arcaded loggia of five bays has been infilled with blockwork, with a small slit window to the left.

The east end has two windows to the second floor (now blocked) and a polygonal bow window with damaged stone mullions to the first floor. Slate steps below this window mark the point where the ground rises towards the rear.

The interior, not inspected at the 2002 resurvey, retains much original character despite alterations. The entrance leads to a lobby with a beamed ceiling. To the right, a wooden stair with closely spaced rails and oak handrail ascends to a landing with arches opening into the hall at the front of the building, which has a beamed ceiling and a tiled original fireplace with slate flagged floors. Service rooms to the rear include a kitchen fitted with cupboards featuring typical Voysey pierced heart vents. Beyond the hall, the former drawing room is lit by a broad multi-light window overlooking a balcony with a central Doric column and doors at each end with small-pane glazing. A passage from the kitchen leads to the dining room, entered via an original boarded door with long strap hinges and metal latch. The dining room has fitted cupboards to the right of the bow window and an arched recess whose cupboard retains typical Voysey heart escutcheons.

On the upper floor, a small bedroom at the rear west corner retains a cast-iron fireplace embossed with three hearts and a deep cornice. The upper corridor has airing cupboard doors with pierced heart vents. Two bathrooms contain original boarded doors with long strap hinges and metal latches. The main bedroom at the east end retains an original tiled fireplace.
