Description

West Carwen Farmhouse is a house dating from around the mid-18th century, with an extension added in the early 19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with granite quoins and features a rag slate roof with gable ends. There is a brick end stack on the right and a brick axial stack, which was originally an end stack located to the left of the center.

The ground slopes down to the southeast. The original layout likely consisted of two rooms with a cross or through passage plan, heated by the end stacks. The early 19th-century extension added another room on the higher left-hand gable end, which is heated by a back-to-back fireplace that shares the original end stack on the left-hand gable end of the earlier section.

The farmhouse is two storeys tall and has a regular four-window front facing southwest. The windows include an early 19th-century 16-pane sash to the left, another early 19th-century 16-pane sash to the left of the 19th-century door, and two horned 16-pane sashes to the right. On the first floor, there is a horned 16-pane sash to the left and three early 19th-century 16-pane sashes in the main range. The interior has not been inspected.
