Nansmellyn Farmhouse Including Front Garden Area Wall

Nansmellyn Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the mid-19th century. It is constructed of slate rubble with rendered brick window and doorway arches, topped with an asbestos slate roof featuring gabled ends. The building has gable end stacks, with brick shafts that have cogged cornices. The main front range consists of two principal rooms that are heated from the gable end stacks, with a central entrance hall that contains the staircase. There is a two-storey kitchen wing at the back of the right-hand room, which includes a gable end stack and a side entrance. A single-storey outshut at the back is likely part of the rear wing, while another single-storey outshut at the left end of the main range may have been added later in the 19th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window front. The windows and doorway feature rendered segmental arches with inscribed voussoirs, and all the windows are original 19th-century 16-pane sashes with slate sills. The central doorway has a 19th-century six-panel door, with the top four panels being glazed. To the left, there is a 19th-century single-storey outshut with a hipped slate roof. At the rear, the two-storey wing has a brick stack at the gable end and a 19th-century two-light casement with glazing bars on the outer right side. In the inner left angle, there is a single-storey outshut with a slate lean-to roof and a 19th-century sash with glazing bars. The property also includes a wall that encloses a small front garden area, made of 19th-century slate rubble with ramped slate coping and small monolithic granite gate-posts in the front right-hand corner. The interior has not been inspected but is expected to retain original features such as joinery, stairs, panelled doors, and chimneypieces.
