Bryncalled Farmhouse

Bryncalled Farmhouse is a house of circa 1790, with probable 17th-century origins to the rear wing. It is constructed of coursed slatestone rubble, rendered to the front, with a hipped roof covered in slate to the front and corrugated iron to the rear. A stone rear lateral stack is located to the right, and a ridge stack sits on the front of the rear wing. The building is in an "L" shape, with a rear left wing.

The main house is two storeys and an attic, and has a symmetrical three-window front, with a pedimented centre. A recessed pilaster surrounds an open pediment above a 20th-century door featuring switch tracery in the fanlight. The windows are mid-to-late 19th-century three-light transomed casements, with a lunette in the pediment’s tympanum. Raised eaves are present. The lower, two-storey rear wing features a two-window range to the right, including a late 18th-century plank door set within a beaded architrave, late 19th-century two-light casements, one leaded casement, and a canted bay window at the angle with the main range. A lean-to is attached to the left, with a late 19th-century brick stack and a plank door. A small outbuilding with a gabled asbestos roof is attached to the right of the rear wing.

Inside, fielded six-panelled doors retain original brass handles and are set within moulded wood architraves. The hall has a stone-flag floor and an open-well staircase with moulded newel posts, stick balusters, and fret-cut brackets. A spice cupboard is located in the stair hall. Late 18th-century fireplaces with cast-iron grates are found on both the ground and first floors. A ground-floor room to the left retains quartered beams, a gun rack, and a moulded mantelshelf over an open fireplace with neo-classical motifs above an original cast-iron kitchen range set within an arched moulded wood architrave. The rear wing has 17th-century stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, a plank door to winder stairs, and a first-floor former men’s room with a 17th-century roof truss (side struts removed). A cellar provides access to a segmental-vaulted ceiling within the small outbuilding to the right.
