Cadw's description

Location

Set back from the S side of the country road leading down to the coast at Porth Swtan or Church Bay; c600m SW of the Church of St Rhyddlad.

History

C18 farm range with later additions and alterations. Ty Newydd is marked as a T-plan house on the Tithe Map of the parish of Llanrhuddlad, 1843. The farm at this time was owned by Owen John Augustus Fuller Meyrick Esq. who owned a number of farms in the area, and tenanted by Thomas Pritchard, farmer of over 33 acres(13.4 hectares). The Tithe Map only shows the house, but the attached agricultural buildings are probably late C18 or early C19.

Exterior

Gabled wing to rear of lower part of farmhouse (a dairy?). The roofline steps down gradually along the range, from L to R (farmhouse to cartshed). Rubble walls with boulder foundations.
