Description

Blaenau Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century and around 1950. The building is constructed of rubble and has a roughcast finish from the 1950s, with a slate roof and end stacks. It has a T-plan layout, is two storeys high, and features three windows, primarily 1950s casements that are evenly spaced: two in the main range and one in the cross-wing. There is a small contemporary window to the left of the porch, an early 19th-century six-light window to the right of the porch, and a three-light early 19th-century segmentally headed window on the ground floor of the cross-wing. The entrance is located under a gabled porch from the 1950s and features a pegged and moulded 17th-century door frame with a mid-20th-century door.

Inside, a repositioned plank and muntin screen separates the large principal room from the cross-wing. At the rear end of the screen, a moulded door-head leads to a pantry, which is partitioned off from the rest of the ground floor of the cross-wing by another longitudinal plank and muntin screen. There is an additional screen above it on the first floor, behind a straight 19th-century staircase that rises from the middle of the first screen into the cross-wing. The room above the pantry is accessed through a segmental-headed doorway in the last screen and features four 17th-century wooden brackets with a concentric diamond pattern attached to the inside of the wall-plate of the rear wall. The roof consists of two bays in each part, with the left-hand truss of the main range embedded in the gable, featuring an A-frame with raking struts from the collar. This design alternates with open triangular uncollared braces.
