Llanhedry Farmhouse

Llanhedry Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been divided into two houses. It has origins dating back to the 14th or 15th century and has undergone alterations in the 17th century, mid-19th century, and late 20th century. The building is timber-framed, with parts cased in coursed painted rubble and some areas weatherboarded. The roofs are a mix of slate and corrugated metal, hipped at the east end, and there are three rebuilt brick ridge stacks.

Originally, the farmhouse featured a central hall range likely consisting of four framed bays aligned east to west, with cross-wings at either end. The west cross-wing remains intact and includes a large external rubble chimney with tiled offsets and a rendered brick stack at the southeast corner. The east cross-wing has been removed, but there is a two-bay service wing at the rear of the east bay, which has an external chimney and a large diagonal rubble chimney on the east side, possibly indicating part of the original structure.

The building is partly single storey with an attic featuring dormers, and partly two storeys. Although the framing is not visible from the outside, the south gable end of the cross-wing displays a jettied first floor supported by shaped brackets. The north front elevation of the hall has two buttresses, likely added in the 19th century. Most windows are 20th-century casements, with the hall featuring a 4-light and a 2-light window on both floors. The main entrance, located next to the cross-wing, has a lean-to rubble porch with a catslide roof and a round-headed archway, leading to a large door that may date back to the 17th century. The cross-wing has a lean-to outshut at the gable end and two 2-light 19th-century casements in the angle.

The interior has only been partially inspected, but some substantial wall-framing remains, along with a 17th-century doorway featuring a shallow triangular head. It is noted that at least one cruck truss survives inside, along with a 17th-century ceiling in the former hall.
