Wash House

The property is a large, two-storey house, originally aligned northeast-southwest. It likely dates to the 18th century, with earlier origins. The house is constructed from rough slate rubble with a modern slate roof and plain overhanging eaves. Rear wall and right-hand gable stacks are present. The main range faces southeast and features a low, narrow central entrance within a roughly semi-circular archway constructed of large, irregularly shaped stones (cyclopean masonry). This archway aligns with a later entrance in the rear wall, which serves as the main access point today. There are four irregularly spaced 16-pane sash windows on the first floor, roughly aligned with lower windows; one window on each floor is a 20th-century insertion. A narrow 12-pane sash window is positioned alongside the doorway, and paired 16-pane sash windows are to its right (previously a tripartite sash window). A stack rises from the rear wall of the main range, with 16-pane sash windows on each floor alongside it. Similar windows are found in the gable end. A rear wing has two 16-pane sash windows on each floor to its southwest elevation, a doorway in the centre, and a single sash window above the staircase. A projecting stack is located on the wing's northeast elevation, alongside a cellar entrance, with a doorway leading to steps, incorporating a panelled door within a moulded architrave, added around 1946; a 16-pane sash window sits above.

Lower extensions to the northeast of the main range lead to a higher, gabled cross range, likely originally a stable and loft. This cross range has a central door and flanking windows on its northeast elevation, and an external staircase leading to a loft doorway in the northwest gable. A single-storey wash house encloses the courtyard on the northwest side, featuring a door and a single 6-pane sash window on the southeast elevation, and a tall stack on the gable end.

The original house layout comprised two rooms with a central service room or wide passageway connecting them. The northeast room, now the kitchen, has stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, while the southwest room has heavy, panelled beams and joists, also featuring run-out chamfer stops. A rear wall fireplace incorporates coats of arms (Collwyn ap Tangno and Owain Gwynedd) within a panelled surround; the lower panels (German Renaissance reliefs) and the Delft tiled surround were inserted around 1946. The staircase within the rear wing likely dates from a 1729 extension and remodelling but has been realigned since, and features turned balusters, moulded strings and rail, square newel posts and fielded panelled dado. The main range's southwest section contains a massive roof truss of a queen strut and collar type, with the current roofline not aligned with it. The wing's three trusses are of a later Queen Post and collar type, and the two trusses in the main range's northeast section are similar.
