Description

Croes-heolydd is a house featuring painted render and a slate roof, topped with a brick ridge stack. It is two-storeys high with a four-bay front and a two-storey gabled porch located in the third bay. The house has 20th-century 15-pane windows throughout. The porch includes stone voussoirs above a segmental opening, and inside, there is a square-headed oak doorway with a plank door. Each side wall of the porch has blocked tiny windows.

On the right end of the ground floor, there is a small blocked 17th-century ovolo-moulded oak window and some original roughcast visible. The left end wall features 20th-century attic and first-floor windows. The right end wall has an attic casement pair, two 20th-century small windows on the first floor, and 20th-century 12-pane sashes on the ground floor. At the rear, there is a two-storey stair wing with a corbelled external chimney breast, although the stack has been removed. The first floor has a 20th-century 9-pane window.

There are lean-tos on each side; the right side has a two-storey rubble stone lean-to with two casement-pair windows above, a 20th-century ground floor window with a concrete lintel, and a 20th-century porch. The lower lean-to on the left projects beyond the stair gable and features a 20th-century long horizontal window.

The interior has been altered, with ground floor partitions removed. In the stair projection, there is a broad staircase dating from around 1660, which has two flights, a heavy moulded rail, turned balusters, and square newels topped with ball finials.
