Description
Ty'r Ardd, also known as Garden House, is a large townhouse that has been divided into three separate dwellings, each with its own roof. The building features stucco rendering painted in a light color, a slate roof, sprocketed eaves, and large narrow rendered ridge stacks. It stands two storeys high with an attic.
The main facade facing Priory Street, known as Ty Brith, includes a central gable with a small arched attic sash window that has glazing bars within a rectangular frame. The first floor displays a three-window range of 12-pane sashes set in reveals with shallow sills, complemented by a quoin strip and plinth. An early Tudor-arched doorway made of painted stone features light mouldings at the base, a wooden studded door with long hinges, and an unusual small hexagonal upper light, all beneath a shallow bracketed gabled hood.
The south gabled elevation has a single range of similar sash windows and canted bays on the ground floor. The side elevation facing Twyn Square is also gabled, showcasing 12-pane sash windows across three levels, along with a large window featuring multi-pane fixed glazing. To the left, there is an earlier small square chamfered opening with two iron bars. The lower cross wing, known as Ty Brith Cottage, has paired sash windows, and two smaller deep-set lights to the left indicate the thickness of the wall. Stepping down from this is a lower hipped roof wing, which has a pebble-dashed blocked doorway at the rear and an old rubble wall with blocked features attached. This wall includes a doorway with a brick surround leading to Ty Brith Cottage, flat coping, and a small pointed brick-arched opening, which is swept up to connect with the former stable block.
Ty'r Ardd itself comprises the wide inner wing that runs parallel to the main frontage. It features rendered end stacks, slightly swept eaves, and a two-window range of tri-partite sashes. At the south gable end, there is a large restored conservatory attached to a part-external chimney stack.
