Description

Ddol is a cottage with attached outbuildings, built in a long single-storey rectangular plan that runs roughly east-west. The cottage, which has two rooms, is located in the center of the main range, with equal-height outbuildings attached to each end. The left outbuilding was formerly a cowhouse, while the right may have once been a smithy. Further to the right is another former cowhouse, which is lower and follows a slight curve. The exterior is made of limewashed irregularly coursed rubblestone, and the cottage features a grouted graded slate roof with larger slates on the outbuildings.

The cottage has a 4-paned sash window with a slate cill on either side of an offset boarded door. There are integral end stacks with slate drips where they meet the outbuildings. The left outbuilding has a roughly central boarded door with a small 4-paned sash window to the right. The right outbuilding includes a large 20th-century window on the left, boarded double doors to the right, and three small 19th-century rooflights near the ridge. The lower former cowhouse on the right has boarded doors on both the left and right, with a window immediately to the right of the latter and another window in the center.

Inside, the cottage has a large room on the left with a short low screen immediately to the left of the entrance. This room features a large chimney breast with a cast-iron fire surround, a mantleshelf, and a 20th-century grate. The boarded ceiling reveals the base of an A-frame truss in the center. There is a croglofft over the small room on the right, which also has a boarded ceiling and a small infilled fireplace. The hearth in the probable former smithy shares a stack with the right room of the cottage. The cowhouse on the right has a three-bay roof supported by two A-frame trusses.
