Cwarelau And Barn Adjoining To North

Cwarelau and the barn adjoining to the north are a farmhouse and barn with origins dating back to the 16th century or earlier. The building was likely extended in the 17th century and again in the 20th century. It features a timber-frame structure with coursed rubble and a roof made of concrete tiles and corrugated iron. There are two stacks: one located to the left center of the front range and another at the rear of the cross-wing.

The north elevation now resembles a longhouse, consisting of a single storey with an attic. There is a stack positioned left of center, with four-light late 19th-century casements on the left side. To the right, there are three ledged 17th-century doors leading to the cow house, and an entry immediately to the right of the stack features a ledged door under a pegged and chamfered door-frame.

Attached to the north-east is a three-bay barn with a corrugated iron roof and a lean-to extension for a calf pen located to the south-west at the junction with the farmhouse. Inside, there is a through-passage backing onto the stack, with local type newel stairs to the north. The interior also includes plank and muntin screens with chamfers, segmental-headed openings, and ledged doors that divide the rooms. Similar partitions are found on the cow house side, with a local type longitudinal division behind a blocked four-light diamond-section oak-mullioned window to the west of the front door. Cruck blades extend into the roof space above the principal room to the east of the stack.

The rear 17th-century wing features deep run-out stop chamfers on heavy beams. At the junction of the L-shaped layout is a short four-bay cruck part, which may have been later extended across what became a through-passage to form a longhouse by the addition of a cow house, possibly in the 17th century. Around the same time, the early house was extended south with the addition of a two-storey cross-wing and a granary added on the north side.
