Description
Cae'n-y-Coed Farmhouse is a house-and-byre of rubble construction with corrugated iron roofs. The central section is the house, with a contemporary or near-contemporary byre addition set back slightly to the southwest, and a later 17th century byre addition to the northeast. The primary block sits partly on boulder foundations and features a later rubble and boulder buttress to the left, in front of a former window. An off-centre entrance to the house is marked by a boarded door and timber lintel, with an original window opening to the left now containing a modern window. The southwest byre section has a steeply pitched slate roof and an entrance to the left with a modern stable door. Rough stone steps lead to an upper loading bay at the right gable end, displaying an original pegged oak doorcase and boarded door. The left byre section has an entrance to the left with a 19th-century boarded door and doorcase, along with a window opening at the junction with a 19th-century cottage addition. Two small original window openings are present at the rear of the house, with modern glazing, the one on the right bearing a timber lintel. A 6-pane 19th-century window is located at the rear of the northeast byre section.
A two-storey, two-window cottage is constructed of rubble with a slate roof, end chimneys, plain cornices, and weather coursing. A central entrance has a boarded door, and 12-pane recessed sash windows are present on both floors, except for a modern window on the upper right. Projecting slate sills are visible. A contemporary 6-pane fixed stair-light is diagonally positioned above the entrance to the right. A central entrance at the rear includes a part-glazed modern door; a 6-pane sash window with tall lower panes is on the right, and a 12-pane recessed sash is above. Modern windows are on the left of the door on both floors.
Inside the house-and-byre section, the house has a two-bay interior with a large inglenook fireplace on the left, featuring a chamfered inglebeam. A later doorway through the fireplace leads into the byre section. The beamed ceiling possesses run-off stops and chamfering, likely inserted in the late 17th century. A section of post-and-panel partition screen, originally defining hall/parlour spaces, survives on the left of the entrance. A primary entrance into the right-hand byre section is through the southwest gable wall. Both byre sections contain two bays with original tie-beam trusses.
