Description

Cwm Cloch Ganol is a pair of adjoining two-storey farmhouse units, built of rubble on boulder foundations. They share a continuous slate roof, which was replaced around 1900. The end chimneys mark the boundaries of each unit. Cwm Cloch Uchaf, on the left, features an off-centre entrance with a boarded door. To the left of the entrance is a 19th-century four-pane sash window in a primary opening, while the first floor has mid-19th-century twelve-pane sashes under the eaves. To the right of the entrance is a large modern window. Cwm Cloch Ganol, slightly recessed to the right, has a similar layout with four-pane sashes flanking a near-central boarded door and twelve-pane sashes above. At the rear, there is a contemporary single-storey lean-to that occupies the central section of the combined blocks, with a further boarded door on the right return and a modern two-pane window on the front face. Under the eaves at the rear, there are several small primary windows and a nine-pane sash. A later 19th-century catslide lean-to is attached to the left, flush with the gable of Cwm Cloch Ganol. Cwm Cloch Uchaf has a plain 19th-century rubble lean-to adjoining its left gable, which also has a boarded entrance. The interior was not inspected during the survey.
