Description
Brynfedwen House is a 2-storey house that has been rendered and painted. It features a projecting bay on the right that has a hipped roof at the front, while the central bay is hipped to the left. To the left, there is a lower extension that is believed to be the oldest part of the house. The slate roof has overhanging, boarded eaves. There are two brick chimneys positioned transversely over the bay to the right. The front has angle pilasters with channelled panels and capitals that incorporate egg and dart motifs.
On the first floor, there are replaced 4-pane sash windows, with two in each bay, set in moulded architraves. The ground floor features larger 12-pane sash windows, all of which have been replaced, also in moulded architraves, along with a shallow plinth. The doorway is located within an added or altered porch, which includes a plate glass window to the left and late 20th-century double doors. Inside the porch, there is an early 20th-century door, likely the original front door, which has a rectangular overlight with 'BRYNFEDWEN' painted on it. The range to the left of the house is clearly of a different date. The ground floor windows include two with 9 fixed lights and projecting sills, as well as a single circular window to the left.
