Description
Wern Fawr is a rectangular two-storey farmhouse built in the 19th century, featuring a three-unit lobby entry plan. The structure is made of local rubble with boulder foundations and has a medium-steep slate roof. The right gable has an uncoped rubble parapet and crude stone kneelers. A tall central chimney is present, along with a reduced end chimney on the right gable, both having weathercoursing and plain capping. The current rear elevation was originally the front, which includes an off-centre primary entrance on the right with an early 20th-century part-glazed door. To the left of the entrance are two primary windows with 4-pane 20th-century casements, along with a sympathetically enlarged 6-pane modern window beyond. The upper floor features two 12-pane, 2-light casements on the left and a plain-glazed window on the far right. There is a corrugated iron lean-to store attached to the left gable.
The elevation facing the farmyard has an entrance on the right, which is enclosed within a modern brick lean-to porch topped with a corrugated metal roof. Adjacent to this on the left is a larger breeze-block lean-to. To the left of this lean-to, the primary block has a broad, shallow lateral outshut with an entrance on the left, featuring a part-glazed 20th-century door. To the left of this outshut is an unglazed 4-pane Victorian sash window, with a catslide dormer above that has a modern window. There are three further modern windows on the upper floor to the right, with tilting upper casement sections.
Inside, the lobby-entry plan includes beamed ceilings in the hall and parlour, featuring stopped-chamfered joists and ogee stops on the main beam. Both rooms have large fireplaces, each with bracketed early 19th-century mantelshelves and stopped-chamfered bressummers. Beyond the former parlour is a pantry that includes a slate-lined bin and slate-slab L-shaped surfaces around two sides, dating from the 19th century.
