Great Treaddow

The farmhouse at Great Treaddow dates to the 15th or 16th century, with significant enlargement in the late 17th and 19th centuries. It is timber-framed with finely coursed sandstone rubble walls, a hipped roof covered in Welsh slate, and brick chimney stacks. The building has an irregular plan, dominated by a large 17th-century block, with the main front facing south. It includes a cellar and has two storeys and an attic. The south elevation has three windows: two 2-light, mid-19th century glazing bar casements on the outer sides, a partly blocked 2-light 17th-century window in the centre, and a late 20th-century top vent window to the left of the ground floor. A central window is covered in render. Access is provided to the right-hand side via an early 20th-century open porch and glazed door. Deeply coved plastered eaves are visible. A 19th-century gable-front is to the right of the porch. A 2-light, oak-framed window with ovolo-moulded detail and remnants of wrought iron casements and quarries is situated at the junction of the 17th-century main range and the roof of a 19th-century extension, along with a small area of exposed timber-framing. The north elevation includes a blocked doorway with a cambered head, to the left of which is a catslide-roofed section dating to the 15th or 16th century, previously illustrated by the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments as having exposed crucks to the west. Internally, the north part of the building has two pairs of cruck blades, while the attic of the 17th-century part contains three pairs of cruck-like blades, likely large principals, arranged east/west. Exposed timber-framing is visible in square panels throughout.
