Llwyn-bedw

Farmhouse. Irregularly coursed rubblestone, painted and part rendered to rear range, on boulder plinth; slate roof with coped verges to front part. 2 storeys. Basic L-plan comprising rectangular-plan main range to front, remodelled in late C18, with shorter C17 range to rear. Slightly irregular 3-window front with recessed C20 windows, that to centre on ground floor in position of former doorway; small 4-pane window directly above. Wide expanse of unbroken wall to left probably accounted for by large integral end stack with slate drips; similar stacks to right gable end and to gable end of rear range. Present entrance through C20 lean-to addition in angle between the 2 ranges. Wheel-pit for former waterwheel to right gable end of main range.

Left ground-floor room has heavy spine and axial beams and exposed joists; open fireplace with chamfered timber lintel; C19 straight-flight staircase with stick balusters and plain rounded newel rises directly from room but would fomerly have been partitioned off from it. Wide fireplace to rear wing with timber lintel, formerly plastered, above which is a mutilated plaster overmantel with part of a shield bearing the coat-of-arms of Collwyn ap Tangno, including a black fleur-de-lys; heavy spine beam and joists as in main range. First floor has wide floor boards visible by stair; main range has boarded ceiling to left room and exposed A-frame truss with double purlins; double purlins also to rear range (originally one large room), which has corner stack to rear right corner. Plank doors throughout house.
