Description
Ty'n y Bryn is a 17th-century building with one-and-a-half storeys, made of whitened rubble stone. The northern roof pitch is covered with stone tiles, while the southern pitch is covered with slates. On the left side, there is a late 20th-century wooden door beneath a segmental stone head. Above this door is a small two-light casement window with a stone sill. The eastern gable end is rendered and features a central two-light multi-pane casement window. Above this window, there is a small window with a shaped hoodmould that contains uPVC glazing, which lights the loft. At the rear, a two-light multi-pane casement window is offset to the right and is situated under a shaped hoodmould.
Attached to the building is a 19th-century range that is symmetrical with two storeys and two windows, featuring a central entrance. This range is constructed of rubble stone and has a slate roof with rendered end stacks. All openings have segmental heads made of narrow stone voussoirs. The entrance has a late 20th-century planked door beneath a gabled porch canopy, flanked by multi-pane cross-windows. The upper storey cross-windows have plain glazing. At the rear, there is a single small window under a segmental head, located to the right of the lower storey.
On the left side of the house, there is a contemporary L-shaped farm range built in the same style, made of rubble stone and covered with slate roofs, featuring segmental-headed openings of narrow voussoirs. The front of this range includes a three-door cow house with a loft hatch and an additional door to the right. The openings have planked doors or are boarded over. At right angles to the left side is a barn that is only attached at the angle. The front of the barn has a segmental-headed opening to the right, while the rest of the barn is not visible. At the rear of the cow house, there is a small light to the left and a doorway on the far right with a flat timber lintel, flanked by small triangular stone-lined ventilation holes. The western gable end has an infilled loft door, and the rear side of the barn features a wide central entrance that is partly blocked with stone.
Access to the interior was not available at the time of inspection. The 17th-century unit is said to retain reed moulded ceiling joists, while the 19th-century range has a winding wooden stair next to the fireplace.
