With very early origins, Bryn Awel is now shops with accommodation above. Its core is a building of sixteenth century date, partially rebuilt or extended in the eighteenth century, and altered again in the late nineteenth century. It comprises of two buildings: a two-unit range parellel to the main road, with a gabled fronted building to the left.The layout of both buildings suggests a hall and a cross-wing plan, and it is possible that this was a at one time a single house. It has rendered brickwork with decorative quoins to main elevations, with exposed brick to the rear and slate roofs. The original cross-wing retains its historical roof structure with two arch-braced collar trusses and probable secondary tie-beams, relaing to the insertion of an upper floor. [Additional:] The two archbraced trusses (not cusped or smoke-blackened) relate to a C16th storeyed cross-wing to rebuilt hall range. Fast-grown timber. RFS/RCAHMW/Nov. 2017.
