Description
Maes Caled is a 1.5-storey building featuring a three-window front and an advanced gable on the left side. The structure is constructed from coursed rubble masonry and has a moderately pitched slate roof with deep eaves and verges, along with exposed purlins and stone stacks with water tabling.
The first-floor window in the advanced gable has a plain returned label over a deep stone lintel and features a two-light casement. Below it, there is a similar detail for a three-light casement window. On the right side of the first floor, there are two raking dormers, each with two-light casement windows. The original fenestration is set below the eaves and is similar to that of the ground floor, which also has stone lintels. The central doorway has a stone lintel and a modern door.
Additionally, there is a label over a casement window on the left gable end wall, which is above a modern ground floor extension. Inside, the building features roughly chamfered transverse ceiling beams.
