Former Stables

This is a large, two-story house, originally built aligned northeast-southwest, with extensions dating from the 18th century. The house is constructed of rough slate rubble and has a modern slate roof with plain overhanging eaves. There are rear wall and right-hand gable stacks. The main range, facing southeast, features a low, narrow central entrance within a roughly semi-circular archway built with large, irregular stones. A further entrance is located in the rear wall, and serves as the current main entrance. The first floor has four irregularly spaced 16-pane sash 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, although one was originally a tripartite sash window. The rear wall of the main range has 16-pane sash windows on both floors alongside a stack, and there are similar windows in the gable end. A wing extends to the northwest, containing a stair hall and a principal room. This wing's southwest elevation also features two 16-pane sash windows on each floor, with a doorway near the center and single sash windows above the entrance, providing light for the staircase. A projecting side wall stack is on the wing’s northeast elevation, alongside a cellar entrance with a doorway up steps and a panelled door set within a moulded architrave, inserted around 1946. A 16-pane sash window is located above the door.

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

The earliest part of the house consists of a two-room plan with a central service room or wide internal passage between the rooms. The northeast room, now the kitchen, has stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. The southwest room has heavy beams paneling the ceiling, all with run-out chamfer stops. The rear wall fireplace incorporates coats of arms (Collwyn ap Tangno and Owain Gwynedd) within a panelled surround; the lower panels with German Renaissance reliefs and the Delft tiled surround were inserted around 1946. The staircase in the rear wing probably dates from the house's extension and remodeling in 1729, but has likely been realigned since. It features turned balusters, a moulded handrail, square newel posts, and a fielded panelled dado. A massive roof truss in the southwest section of the main range is of queen strut and collar type, and the existing roofline is not aligned with it. The three trusses in the wing appear to be of a later Queen Post and collar type and the two trusses in the northeast of the main range are similar.
