Tyddyn-y-Felin

Late C16 2-storey farmhouse with single storey cottage to SW linked by a modern addition. The late C16 house is built to a T-shaped plan and constructed of roughly coursed dressed stone with large boulders as quoins. Slate roof with stone copings and tall gable stacks with dripstones and capping; that to S gable a later addition. The roof has been re-slated in C20 and has small roof lights in the rear pitch.

The principal elevation opens into the enclosed garden to W, a 3-window range with 2 of the 1st floor windows offset to the L (N) and the doorway offset to S. The large stone lintel above the door bears a plaque which bears the inscription: Tyddyn y Felin / Cartref / John Evans / Awdur / Perlau''''r Friddoed / 1892-1949 [erected in 1992]. Flanking ground floor windows are tall 4-pane casements, 1st floor windows are 2-pane horned sashes; all windows have rough stone lintels and slate sills. There has been a single window cut in the rear elevation, and a further window in the N gable, both have modern top hung casement windows. Offset to N end at the rear of gable projection houses the lateral stack and what is thought to have been a staircase within the angled block set in the SE angle; a recent brick built lean-to in the angle to NE has a boarded door in the E elevation.

To SW of the C16 farmhouse is a single-storey cottage which may have been an earlier house or a dower house. Built of local rubble masonry with large stones as quoins and lintels, the roof has been re-slated and includes some small rooflights along the N pitch; tiled ridge and with stone coping and large gable stack to W with dripstones and capping. The principal elevation opens into the enclosed garden to N, a single doorway is offset to L (E) and there is a single small window to R.

The 2 units are now linked physically (though there is no internal access between the 2) by a modern, flat roofed, single-storey addition to SE.

The C16 farmhouse has a cross passage plan with lateral chimney block to rear; a wooden panel in the passage bears the date 1592.

The single-storey cottage to SW has a massive corbelled fireplace with large timber bressumer to the R (W) gable which retains an old brick built boiler. The roof retains roughly chamfered collared trusses.
