Ty Uchaf

Ty Uchaf is a large house, largely of the 18th century, with a service wing of earlier date. The main block is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, embellished with stone dressings, and roofed with natural slate. The service wing is built of painted rubble stone with a stone slate roof. The property has a double-depth plan featuring a long wing to the northwest. The main block is three storeys high, while the service wing is two storeys.

The northeast (entrance) elevation features five bays, with a central entrance. This entrance is framed by a delicate surround, a fanlight, and a part-glazed door, situated within a semi-circular porch supported by two slender stone columns with Adam-style lotus capitals. The ground floor windows are recessed within semi-circular brick arches, topped with a moulded stone impost band, and contain 6 over 9 pane sash windows. A stone band runs along the first floor level, with the central window positioned centrally on this band, and featuring a swept stone architrave, with 6 over 6 pane sashes. The upper-floor windows are smaller, with 6-pane glazing, some of which have been altered. All windows appear to be replacements. A modillion cornice is followed by a parapet. The roof is hipped within the parapet, with a stack to the left return and another behind, to the right where the main block connects with the service wing.

The southeast (garden) elevation is arranged in a 2 + 2 bay layout, with the chimney expressed between the two right-hand windows. Windows are similar to those on the front elevation. An early 20th century stone-paved terrace is located here.

The northwest elevation also presents five bays, divided into a 3 + 2 configuration. It incorporates a three-window bow extending to the full height of the building, with window sizes corresponding to the front elevation, and a stone first floor band. A similar two-window section houses the staircase and connects to the older service wing.

The service wing has six bays and varied fenestration of a 17th-century style, though all the windows are recent replacements. The ground floor is arranged with windows and doors in the sequence: window, door, window, window, window, door, with a mounting block between the second and third windows. The doors are plain, with gabled hoods, and the windows are a mix of 3-light, 2-light, and single-light configurations, many being mullion and transom. There are six first-floor windows, three 2-light, and three 3-light. The rear elevation of this wing is L-shaped, encompassing three and four windows, with two windows positioned above to the right, maintaining a similar character to the front.

The interior, though not inspected during a recent survey, was previously recorded as featuring a central entrance hall with a staircase to the rear right within the wing. The house has four principal rooms, with the staircase located in the northwest wing. The staircase has slender turned balusters. The two principal reception rooms have simple but elegant marble fireplaces, and all the principal windows are fitted with panelled shutters.
