Description

Drws yr Ymlid Farmhouse is a two-storey farmhouse that features an added and raised service wing at the rear, creating a roughly L-shaped layout. It has a large external stack at the left (southeast) gable.

The building is constructed from local coursed rubble masonry set on boulder foundations, with large stones used for the quoins and lintels. The main section of the house has a slate roof laid in diminishing courses, with a tiled ridge that follows the original ridge line. The roof is finished with stone copings and large stone stacks that include dripstones; the southeast gable features a prominent external stack with a stepped base. The roof level of the rear wing has been raised, and a new slated gabled roof has been added. There is a rectangular ridge stack at the northeast end, close to the main range, and small rooflights are present in both pitches of the rear wing as well as in the rear pitch of the main range.

The principal elevation faces the farmyard and associated buildings to the northeast and consists of a three-window range. This elevation has an almost central entrance with a boarded door and four-pane horned sash windows that have stone sills and ground floor lintels; the window to the left is larger. The openings are centrally placed, flanked by wide expanses of walling. At the rear, there are hoodmoulds above former openings that are flanking and partially blocked by the rear wing. A new window opening has been cut to the left of the external stack at the southeast gable.

The rear wing features openings in the southeast wall, including a doorway at the left end and a single window to the right. The roof level has been raised, and a window has been inserted in the gable apex at the southwest end.

At the downhill end, the rubble walling that adjoins the front but is not bonded into it appears to be the remains of a former lean-to beside the chimney or a screen wall.

The interior was not inspected during the survey, but the owners report that it includes splayed window openings, a central staircase, and collared roof trusses with curved feet.
