Description
Built for the Bryn-y-Pys estate, designed by John Douglas of Chester, and dated 1875. The former mansion of Bryn-y-Pys, was built in the mid 18th century, but the estate appears to have been considerably developed from c1850, when it was purchased by Edmund Peel. John Douglas also prepared plans for the remodelling of the house, but these were never executed.

Constructed of coursed and squared stone with a plain tiled roof of scallopped bands. It is one and a half storeys, with a lean-to porch and an outshut projecting from the southern elevation. There is a doorway in a porch formed at the end of the outshut, the roof carried on a corner pillar, over which is a date with initials 'E.P' in the wall. Leaded mullioned windows in the gable end to the west, are contained in a projecting, full height, bay window, roofed as an extension of the main roof-line. There is also a 2-light mullioned window in the outshut which extends the line of the porch, and a similar window in the main range beyond. It has a covered, plaster eaves cornice, barge-boards with pendant finials and an axial stack.
