Cefn Tila Bach

Cefn Tila Bach is a house that has been completely rendered and painted, likely over local rubblestone, and features Welsh slate roofs. It consists of an original two-room block with a lower single-storey addition at the far gable end. The main block is two storeys tall and shows signs of having had the walls raised, though not to a full two storeys.

On the garden (entrance) elevation, the original block is on the left. The ground floor has a wide window beneath a timber lintel, which appears to be an original opening. To the right of this is an inserted window, followed by a doorway that may be in a partly original window opening. All these features have late 20th-century small paned joinery. There is a gabled hood on brackets over the door. The roof is steeply pitched and includes two gabled half dormers, with a gable stack on the left. The left gable of the house was not accessible to check for any signs of a possible original entry.

The rear elevation of the main block features a narrow and a wide casement window below and a narrow one above, all with late 20th-century joinery. There is an added brick stack on the left gable wall. The added wing has modern joinery, including windows and two gabled dormers on the garden side, as well as two large windows with an extended stove stack on the rear wall.

Inside, the main room boasts a fine fireplace with chamfered red sandstone ashlar jambs and a massive cranked oak lintel. To the right, there is a doorway with an original plank door leading to a stone and oak spiral stair. There may be a possible original entrance to the left, which is now a cupboard. The front window retains its original frame. The ceiling features beams with a cross beam and joists, all stop chamfered. There is a stone fireplace upstairs, and the principal rafter roof has two large trusses, though only partly visible. The wing does not contain any features of interest.
