The Llaniestyn Tithe Map of 1840 shows a holding of 31 acres (12.5ha) called Ty Mawr "alias Ty Bwlcyn", owned by Sir Love Parry Jones Parry of Madryn and occupied by Richard Jones. Heavily renovated in 1990s. 1971 list mentions 'hewn beams, curved fireplace beam, wide-boarded door and stair winding around central post' but much of this has gone.

Three first floor small-paned windows with fixed lights except top half of left side. Centre window slightly longer. Ground floor two 12-pane sashes and centre C20 half-glazed door. Large boulders in footings. Rear has central single-storey kitchen wing with end stack, 12-pane sash each side and door on E. Main house has small 6-pane casement each floor to right, 12-pane sash and small window to left.
