Ffrwd-yr-Hebog

Ffrwd-yr-Hebog is a farmhouse, originally dating from the 18th century, built of rubble construction with a boulder plinth on the right-hand side. The building is set into the hillside on the left. It has a slate roof with an end chimney to the left. The main part of the house is near-symmetrical, with a later byre addition on the right. A cobbled path leads to the front entrance, which has a 19th-century wooden doorcase and a boarded door. Flanking the entrance are windows: a 12-pane sash on the left and a 9-pane sash on the right. Upper windows, originally with 19th-century 6-pane glazing, are now fitted with modern 2-pane glazing. To the right of the byre section is a boarded door and a modern 12-pane fixed window above. A rubble and slate lean-to is attached to the right, open to the front and boarded at the upper part. Corrugated iron lean-tos are located at the rear, with a narrow, off-centre entrance to the right with a part-glazed modern door. A small window with modern glazing is present to the right, with a blocked window to the left, both featuring projecting stone lintels.

Inside, the room formerly used as a hall has a large fireplace, which has been partly boxed-in but is still visible. The ceiling is mainly boarded from the 19th century, although two exposed joists remain in a cupboard, featuring stopped-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, as does the main beam. A good stone corkscrew stair is located to the left of the fireplace, with an unusually large stepped chimney breast visible in the upper room. The byre addition has a plain oak beamed ceiling and flagged floor, with wall beams supported by roughly shaped stone corbels. Later 19th-century stalls with mangers are also present.
