Description
Bryn Coed was built in 1912 by Shayler and Ridge, architects, for A Wood, manager of Brynkinallt Colliery, Chirk Green, in a Restoration revival style. It is a two storey house built of Ruabon type purple-red brick. It has a hipped slate roof with yellow clayware ridges and a timber dentilled eaves cornice. There are three bays, designed on a U-plan with the end bays set forward, and extended later by an L-shaped service wing on the East forming a third front wing. The central bay was altered in 1916, and the service end was added later in a matching style. The front angles of the two main wings have narrow stone quoins in the brickwork and twelve-paned sash windows with the boxes set to the front. The recessed centre bay has a single storey entrance block spanning between the wings. There is also a central six-panelled door with a cross glazed overlight which is set in an eared and limestone frame. There are nine-paned sashes on each side. The recessed first floor has a central keyed oculus and eight-paned sashes on each side.

It was listed as a fine example of the late C19-early C20 Restoration revival style, notable for its composition (its symmetry and massing) and its attention to detail (in use of materials, restrained decorative elements, etc). It is a very well preserved example of its type.
