Description
Cynfal-fawr is a farmhouse constructed from roughly coursed, mortared rubble masonry, featuring long stones used in the build as well as for the quoins and lintels. The slate roof is topped with tall gable stacks that have dripstones and capping. The main section of the house, known as the 'new' part, was refaced around 1800. It is a two-storey building with an attic, comprising a three-window range and a central panelled door beneath a shallow overlight. The distinctive windows are three-light casements with transoms and gothic heads on the lower lights, found on each floor, including in the close-spaced gabled dormers of the attic.
To the left (east) of the main section is the older part of the house, which is a single-storeyed gabled range. This section features a small four-pane light in the apex, situated beneath a series of later doveholes. The return range has a doorway offset to the right and two windows to the left; the central window is a two-light casement, while the far left window is a fixed light with nine panes. Adjacent to the doorway is a commemorative plaque dedicated to Morgan Llwyd, and there is a single ridge stack positioned to the left of the central window.
At a right angle to the left (south) end of the older part is a lofted agricultural range that includes an added outshut along the north lateral wall. The entrance to this range is located in the east gable, featuring a pitching door above. The outshut has a boarded door on the far right (north) and a fixed light with two panes to the left.
Inside the older part of the house, there is a central truss and timber stairs at the north end. The kitchen includes an open fireplace with an arched stone bressumer and a stone tablet that bears the name and date: Joseph Bushman / 1794.
