Blaenau

Blaenau is a building constructed of rubble, featuring 19th-century coursed blocks and slate roofs with plain stacks that have weather-coursing. The east front has three bays, with two wide gabled bays on either side of a central entrance bay, the left bay being slightly advanced. The bargeboards are simply moulded, and the verges display expressed purlin ends. The entrance features a later 19th-century part-glazed door, flanked by wooden canted bay windows on the ground floor of the gabled bays. The upper floors have earlier 19th-century recessed sash windows, with 12 and 16 panes, the latter located in the left bay. The south side is slate-hung and includes a lateral chimney from the 19th century. There is also a storied canted bay window with small-pane glazing.

On the north elevation, a large gable on the left incorporates the two left-hand bays of the main house. The entrance to the second bay has a four-panelled door with square doorlights above. To the left of this entrance is a 12-pane sash window, and to the right is a 20-pane sash window; above, there are two 8-pane sashes on the first floor, with an additional blocked window to the left. To the right, there is a vertical masonry break, and an added bay built into the hill features a boarded door on the left with a small, four-pane light to the right. The roof has two gabled dormers, one on either side of the break, each with four-pane windows. A further plain 19th-century service wing is located at the rear.

Inside, the entrance hall and stairwell are adorned with late 19th-century polychromed floor tiles. The main rooms have six-panelled doors with reeded late Regency architraves and panelled reveals. The drawing room to the right features early 18th-century raised and fielded dado panelling, which is now painted, and includes a panelled window seat. A tall Victorian stained glass window is present in the stairwell, along with a contemporary oak staircase that has turned, finialled newel posts, turned balusters, and oak stairs. A two-panel 18th-century door leads to the first-floor passage. The early part of the building has stopped-chamfered main beams on both floors, with some contemporary random-width floorboards on the first floor. The north attic features a pegged upper cruck truss with a collar and tie-beam, a beamed ceiling, and a two-bay upper cruck roof in the west bay, which includes a large blocked inglenook at the gable end.
