Rhos-Y-Llan Farmhouse

Rhos-y-Llan Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with later additions and alterations. The building features roughcast that conceals a timber frame, while the rear part of the cross-wing and the back wall of the hall range are clad or rebuilt in 19th-century red brick. It has a slate roof and is arranged in an L-plan, consisting of a hall range with two framed bays and a two-bay cross-wing that projects to the right. There is also a late 17th-century or early 18th-century red brick range at right angles to the rear, and the hall range was extended by one bay to the left in the early 19th century. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with late 20th-century casements on each floor to the left of the entrance in the angle between the ranges, and one on each floor at the gable of the cross-wing. A full-height lean-to porch, likely on the site of the original entrance, features a 17th-century nail-studded plank door beneath a 19th-century gabled hood, with a 20th-century flat-roofed dormer above. There is a red brick ridge stack to the left of the hall range at the junction with the 19th-century addition, which has been rebuilt in 19th-century brick. An integral lateral stack is located on the right wall of the cross-wing, along with an integral end stack that has an infilled segmental-headed doorway to the left leading to the rear gabled addition.

Inside, the timber frame with square panels is exposed throughout the ground floor, including in the cross-walls. The front ground-floor room of the cross-wing features a ceiling with a chamfered cross-beam and ogee stops, along with several late 17th-century or 18th-century panelled doors. A dog-leg staircase in the rear right-hand corner of the hall range has carved splat balusters. The roofs of both the hall range and the cross-wing have double-purlin collars and tie beams, with parts of the trusses exposed.
