Bronmor, Tresaith was a seaside villa, built 1889 for Mr and Mrs Beynon Puddicombe, to designs by T.L. Worthington of London.  The house is one and a half storeys, of a rectangular plan with a roof swept down on the east side over a three-bay verandah on timber posts with rails between. There is lattice timbering under the verandah roof each end. There is a 20th century conservatory, and a small parallel single storey range of outhouses screening a narrow court. Of note is a picturesque half-timbered dormer with four-light leaded casements and deeply overhung bargeboards.

Mrs Puddicombe was born Anne Adaliza Evans in 1836, and her family, solicitors in Newcastle Emlyn, bought or rented the Glandwr estate in Tresaith from the 1870s. She became widely known from 1898 as the novelist Allen Raine and died in 1908.
