Description

Ty'n Llwyn Farmhouse is a Grade II listed, two-unit cross-passage regional house dating from the 18th century. It features a hall and two service room plan and is situated downhill, with a rear wing added in the late 18th century and a stable constructed in the early 19th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has two windows on the front façade, constructed from rubble masonry. It has a moderately pitched new slate roof with plain eaves and close verges, and two iron skylights on the front pitch. A stone stack, rebuilt in the 19th century, is located to the right. The front features two two-light casement windows set under the eaves with slate sills, and a similar casement window on the ground floor to the right, with a stone lintel and sill, retaining its original opening. There is a small slit-like stair window at the extreme right and a small service room window to the left, which is a four-pane casement with a stone lintel and sill, also an original opening. The doorway to the left of centre has a stone lintel and a plank door.

The rear elevation has two windows, with two-light casements on the first and ground floors at the left, both with stone lintels and sills. The windows to the right are partly obscured by the late 18th-century rear wing, which is built of coursed rubble masonry and has a modern slate roof with plain eaves and close verges. It features a square stone end stack with water tabling, a two-light casement window under the eaves, and a similar window on the ground floor with a stone lintel. There is a doorway to the right with a stone lintel and a part-glazed door. A former loft doorway has been partly blocked to form a window facing the hillside at the rear, and there is a later window on the ground floor to the right. A water tabling course runs across the gable end, and a modern flue pipe is externally mounted.

Adjoining to the left is a 19th-century stable, which is also two storeys high and constructed from rubble masonry with a slate roof, plain eaves, and close verges. It has a plank loft doorway set under the eaves to the left, a shallower pitching door to the right, and a split door below with a stone lintel. There is a modern framed window on the ground floor at the rear, and the interior is flagged with timber stalls.

Inside the farmhouse, there are stop-chamfered transverse ceiling beams, with the end beams resting against the walls. The joists are plain, and there is a deep bressumer with ogee stops to the chamfer. A winding stone stair is located to the right. Although there are modern partitions, the layout with two service rooms is retained. The roof is a three-bay structure with two through purlin collared trusses, and it retains original rafters and purlins. The rear wing also features stop-chamfered ceiling beams.
