Description
Gwana Fawr is a building constructed of rubble, partly built with boulders, and features modern slate roofs, doors, and windows throughout. It is primarily one-and-a-half storeys tall and has a roughly S-shaped plan. The main front faces west and includes a near-central entrance flanked by windows, with three hipped dormers above and a rebuilt chimney to the left. There are modern extensions at the rear and an additional modern hipped dormer.
The east wing, dating from the mid to late 16th century, has its main entrance on the north side. This entrance features a chamfered round arch with a deeply recessed boarded door. To the left is a reduced window, and to the right is a small squint-light. The dormers above have been rebuilt, and at the rear, there is another dormer and a glazed door leading to a modern patio. The east gable end has a chimney with moulded capping and a contemporary square stair-light to the right, featuring chamfered reveals and a projecting stone lintel. There are also modern lean-to extensions beyond.
Attached to the south is a single-storey dairy range with external stepped access to the attic, and to the north of the west range, there is a continuously-roofed former cart shed with two openings. Inside, one cruck truss remains in the upper floor of the west range, showing evidence of former windbracing. The ground floor ceiling features stopped-chamfered main beams, one of which bears the carved initials D L K and the date 1722. The east range has broach-stopped chamfered beams and plain-stopped lintels over the north window and a large end fireplace, which includes a stone mural corkscrew stair to the right.
