Description
Cae Canol is a sub-medieval vernacular farmhouse, extended in the 18th century, with a T-shaped plan. The house is constructed of whitened rubble with slate roofs. The main block has a three-bay front elevation, with single-bay lower additions to the left and right. The main block features rendered end chimneys with paired, offset stacks. A single-storey porch with an open front featuring a wooden latticed gable shelters the central entrance, which has a six-panel door with glazed upper panels. Ground-floor windows are 12-pane recessed sashes, while upper-floor windows are smaller 16-pane sashes set within rubble-built gabled dormers with plain, oversailing bargeboards. The left and right additions have 12-pane and 16-pane sashes respectively; the right-hand addition has a tall rubble end chimney. The rear wing has two similar dormers on the east side with sashes matching those on the front. A shallow slated lean-to on the rear has a pointed-arched iron-framed Gothick window to the left and a part-glazed 20th-century door with plain-glazed flanking sections to the right. Adjoining at right angles to the right is a lower whitened rubble block with a slate roof that extends over a recessed gate, leading to the Castle Yard at the rear. A round-headed, iron-framed window with multi-pane glazing is found in the left section of this block.
To the right of the front elevation, and projecting slightly, is a former coach house/stable block now used as a garage. This is a single-story rubble building with a slate roof. A covered tunnel arch provides access to a small rear service court on the left. To the right of the arch is a 16-pane iron-framed window where an entrance once stood. Further to the right is an entrance with a boarded door followed by a large, modern garage entrance with wooden boarded doors and a corrugated iron roof that projects forward slightly.
A high rubble wall separates the house and its garden from the garage block and a gravelled yard. The wall extends southeast for approximately 30 meters before curving northeast to terminate; it includes an open arch in the center. The interiors are plain.
