Description

Gwastad Annas, also known as the Old House, is a two-unit lobby entry house with a later addition aligned with the original structure. It is built of whitened rubble and features a 20th-century slate roof, although the original rubble gable parapets have been lost. The house has a squat central chimney, weathercoursing, and simple capping. Above the main openings, there are stone hoods, but the glazing has been replaced with 20th-century materials.

The entrance is off-centre to the left, featuring a stopped-chamfered frame and a recessed boarded door. There are flanking windows and an additional blocked opening immediately to the left. The later addition on the far right includes another window and a boarded entrance. At the rear, there is a 10-pane casement window from the turn of the century set in what was once a door opening, along with 6-pane flanking casements. To the left, there is another entrance with a boarded door, which is recessed between two 20th-century lean-to additions, the larger of which has a corrugated iron roof. The upper left gable has a four-pane sash window dating from the late 19th or early 20th century.

Inside, the lobby entry plan includes a parlour to the left and a former hall to the right of the chimney. The hall features a wide stopped-chamfered bressummer above the fireplace, with a similar lateral ceiling beam and a stone-flagged floor. The ceiling joists are from the 19th century, and there are boarded doors. An enclosed corkscrew stair made of pine boarding leads from the hall to the upper floor. The primary section has a two-bay collar truss roof, with a 19th-century superimposed roof structure.
