Braich-melyn

Braich-melyn is a house built of local rubble and whitewashed, with an adjoining farm building made of heavy stone and galetted, all under a continuous slate roof featuring a gable stack at the west end. The house has three bays, is one storey with an attic, and includes a boarded door in a heavy chamfered frame, along with two-light, two-paned timber windows with wooden lintels. The door and windows were renewed in the 1990s. The farm range has a three-bay roof over a cowhouse, with a lean-to extension at the front and a stable door leading into the cowhouse.

Inside, the house has a major living-kitchen at the west end, which features a large inglenook stack and a staircase at the side. There is a cross passage from the front door, and the eastern end originally contained two rooms: a buttery and a small parlour, separated by an original plank and muntin partition. The roof structure includes collar beam trusses that support two tiers of purlins.

The interior of the cowhouse also has a collar beam truss, with some reused timbers, supporting purlins. The roofing is made of thick slate, oak pegged in graded courses.
