Description
Cwrt y Brychan is a house constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof, standing two storeys high. It has been mostly modernised in the later 20th century. The left end of the building is a block from the 16th century, while the main range dates from the 17th century, although both sections have undergone significant alterations and feature low-pitched roofs. The house has rebuilt brick stacks, 20th-century windows, and concrete lintels and sills. The main range has a hipped northern end with a red brick ridge stack and a three-window arrangement on the front. A low single-storey addition extends from the right end. The left end cross-wing includes a door in the return wall. The eastern gable end has a small blocked gable light in a chamfered frame, a 16th-century two-light stone mullion window with depressed-arched heads and a hoodmould on the first floor to the left, a 20th-century window to the right, and another 20th-century window on the ground floor to the left. A photograph in Fox & Raglan indicates a lost gable chimney and shows that the two 20th-century windows replaced pairs of 19th-century casements. The south side wall features a rebuilt wall face stack made of brick and stone, along with another matching first-floor mullion window that has recently been reopened. An altered stable range has been added to the south.
The garden front displays a three-window range of 20th-century windows, with a gable to the right and a projecting wing to the left, also featuring 20th-century windows.
Inside, the main ground floor has been opened up in the 20th century, revealing one grooved beam with chamfers and stepped hollow stops, likely marking the site of a former partition. There are two additional similar beams, one situated above the fireplace with a massive lintel. The staircase was also updated in the 20th century. The first-floor centre room contains a fireplace with a massive stone lintel and remnants of 17th-century wall painting on the lintel, featuring red and black squares with a leaf pattern, along with a relieving arch above. The eastern room of the cross-wing has the two stone mullion windows and a chamfered fireplace with a stone lintel and herringbone stonework inside.
