Description

Llwyn-bedw is a farmhouse constructed from irregularly coursed rubblestone, which is painted and partially rendered on the rear section, sitting on a boulder plinth. It features a slate roof with coped verges on the front part. The building is two storeys high and has a basic L-plan layout, consisting of a rectangular main range at the front that was remodelled in the late 18th century, and a shorter 17th-century range at the rear. The front elevation is slightly irregular with three windows, which are recessed and of 20th-century design. The central window on the ground floor occupies the former position of a doorway, with a small four-pane window directly above it. To the left, there is a wide expanse of unbroken wall likely due to a large integral end stack with slate drips, and similar stacks are present on the right gable end and the gable end of the rear range. The current entrance is through a 20th-century lean-to addition located in the angle between the two ranges. There is also a wheel-pit for a former waterwheel on the right gable end of the main range.

Inside, the left ground-floor room features heavy spine and axial beams with exposed joists, and an open fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel. A 19th-century straight-flight staircase with stick balusters and a plain rounded newel rises directly from this room, although it would have originally been partitioned off. The rear wing has a wide fireplace with a timber lintel, which was formerly plastered, and above it is a mutilated plaster overmantel that includes part of a shield bearing the coat-of-arms of Collwyn ap Tangno, featuring a black fleur-de-lys. This area also has heavy spine beams and joists similar to those in the main range. On the first floor, wide floorboards are visible from the staircase, and the main range has a boarded ceiling in the left room along with an exposed A-frame truss and double purlins. The rear range, which was originally one large room, also has double purlins and a corner stack in the rear right corner. Throughout the house, there are plank doors.
