History and description
The farmhouse dates from the late 16th century and is constructed to a two-cell plan.[1] By 1650, a bakehouse had been built adjacent to the main structure.[2] In the 19th century, the windows were replaced with Victorian casements. The farmhouse of a working farm until the 1930s, at which point it was put to use as a cow shelter, the building has been unaltered since that time. Converted back to residential use in the 21st century, it remains a private home.[3][4] The house is not mentioned in John Newman's Gwent/Monmouthshire Pevsner, its listing in 2001 post-dating the publication. A Grade II* listed building, its listing record describes Ty-asch as "extraordinarily unaltered".[1]
