Dref Cerrig Farmhouse

Dref Cerrig Farmhouse is a 17th-century, two-unit regional house with an end chimney. The eaves were raised at the front in the early 19th century, and the interior was re-ordered during this time.

The house is two storeys high with three windows and is built of rubble masonry. It features a moderately pitched slate roof, with a steeper original pitch at the rear, plain eaves, and close verges. There are square stone stacks with simple caps and water tabling. The first-floor windows have shallow upper sashes with nine panes, set under the eaves. The ground floor has a 12-pane enlarged window on the left with a stone lintel, and to the right, there is a two-light casement window with 17th-century dimensions and a deep stone lintel. The doorway is offset to the left of centre, narrowed in the 19th century, with a stone lintel and a plank door. At the rear, there is a late 19th-century lean-to made of rubble masonry with a corrugated iron roof and a stone lintel over the window on the left.

Adjoining to the left is a 19th-century stable, also two storeys and built of rubble masonry. It has a slate roof with plain eaves and close verges. The front features a plank loft doorway set under the eaves, a similar plank door to the ground floor on the right, and a window to the left, all with stone lintels. There is a brace plate on the extreme left, and a plank door on the end elevation with a stone lintel. A lateral stone chimney is located to the left on the rear, with a pitching door to the loft alongside. The interior is bisected by a stone wall and includes a corner fireplace.

The farmhouse features stop-chamfered transverse ceiling beams, with the end ones resting against the walls, and similarly stop-chamfered joists. A bressumer with broach stops to the chamfer is present, and the ceiling beam is cambered over the site of a stone stair to the left, with a door recess in the back wall and a half-truss over the well on the first floor. Plank and muntin partitions were re-used around 1800 to create a small central service room. An L-shaped stair from around 1800 is set against the front wall by the door, featuring a plain handrail and flat balusters. The roof has three bays with two collared trusses and original purlins.
