Llwyn-Y-Groes

Llwyn-y-groes is a farmhouse, now a house, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century. It was extended in the mid-18th century and 19th century, with further alterations made in the mid-20th century. The building features red brick on an uncoursed limestone rubble plinth and has slate roofs. It stands three storeys high with double floor bands on the first and second floors of the gabled wings, and short dentilled bands above the second-floor windows. The gables have dentilled cornices and pointed finials.

The central section of the facade has a 1:3:1 window arrangement, with all mid-20th century segmental-headed wooden cross windows featuring leaded lights, except for a segmental-headed glazing bar sash window in the center on the first floor. A contemporary triple round-arched porch is located at the center, leading to a half-glazed door, flanked by two-light 17th-century stone mullion windows.

At the back wall, there is a central external stack with two attached and rebated shafts of star section, topped with moulded capping. A similar stack is found on the rear lateral stack of the right gabled wing, while the shafts of the front external lateral stack and the lateral stack of the left gabled wing have been rebuilt in 20th-century brick. The rear of the building features a mixture of glazing bar sashes and leaded casements.

To the right, there is a mid-18th century hip-roofed range that has a glazing bar sash window on the first floor and a pedimented French window below. An early to mid-19th century wide gabled single-storey rubblestone projection is located at the center of the rear, featuring a wide tripartite sash window with a cambered head. A late 19th century two-storey twin-gabled purple brick range projects to the right.

To the left of the left gabled wing, there is a service range that has been rebuilt in 20th-century red brick at the front, ending in a higher tile-hung square tower with a pyramidal slate cap and a weathervane.

The interior was not accessible during the resurvey in November 1986, but it was noted that the central hall has ornamental Jacobean panelling and an overmantel with grotesque figures. The 17th-century staircase to the left features panelled risers with diamond-shaped ornament, along with turned balusters and newel-posts. It is also reported that there is 18th-century panelling in some of the rooms.
