Ty-gwyn

Ty-gwyn is a late 17th century lobby-entry house, although it may have been raised in height during that period and originally dates back to around 1600. The front of the house is rendered and white-washed, while the gable wall is made of random limestone rubble that is only partly squared. It has a tiled roof, but the weathering on the chimney indicates that it was previously thatched. There is a large central stack located halfway up the front slope and a smaller stack behind it, which appears to be a later addition as it does not show weathering.

The house is designed as a two-cell structure with a central entrance. The position of the main chimney stack on the roof slope suggests that the building may have been both heightened and deepened in the late 17th century. It has two storeys and an attic. The central entrance features a nailed door with a tiled gabled hood supported by massive ancient oak brackets. Above the door is a small two-light casement window, likely in its original opening. On the ground floor, there are three-light timber casements, with a two-light window to the left and a three-light window to the right on the upper floor. Most of the openings appear to be original, although the windows are 19th century, except for the left ground floor window which has ovolo moulded mullions and may date from the early 17th century. The west gable features a 17th century attic window with a hood mould and an original frame that shows sockets for three diamond mullions in the lintel, indicating it was originally unglazed.

The rear elevation was not visible, but it is illustrated in Fox and Raglan as having a six-light window with surviving diamond mullions. There is also a rear wing that is not visible from the front.

The interior was not inspected during the resurvey in October 1996, but the use of bar stops on the beams is noted by Fox and Raglan.
