1906 – Design for Ty Bronna, Fairwater, Cardiff, Wales
A large, Grade II listed,detached house designed by C.F.A. Voysey for Hastings Watson, a timber merchant, and built between 1903 and 1906. The house is three storeys in height, capped by a hipped roof, battered buttresses rise from the ground to the eaves. It has a bowed east window with a recessed veranda. The RCAHMW report on the house praises Voysey as having “…exploited the slope by placing the entrance at the short west end so that he could open up a five-arched veranda almost the full width of the south front which faced the view over the valley of the River Ely”. The former stables to the south of the house were also designed by Voysey, built in 1904, and are also Grade II listed.
