Friog

Friog is a 17th-century building constructed of rubble with a slate roof and end stacks on both the northwest and southwest gable ends. It features weather coursing and moulded capping. The entrance is located on the northeast side, featuring a modern part-glazed door with a concrete lintel. To the right of the entrance, there is a small 4-pane sash window, followed by a slightly-recessed 19th-century 6-pane sash window. There are two similar windows under the eaves on the first floor. At the rear, there is an advanced gabled wing, likely added in the early 18th century, which includes modern 6-pane sash-type windows and has an angled corner where it meets the main range. A small 19th-century 4-pane window is located to the right on the ground floor. The rear wing has a projecting rubble plinth at its gable end and a blocked entrance on its northwest return, with the roof pitch slightly raised in the 19th century.

To the left of the house is a contemporary byre that is stepped down and features weather coursing at its intersection with the house. It is built in the same style as the main building but has an old slate-stone roof on the southwest pitch. The byre has an off-centre entrance with a reused timber lintel and stable door, a small plain-glazed window to the right, and a larger similar window to the left under the eaves. There is also a further entrance to the rear, which is stepped up and shows evidence of a former window to the left. Additionally, there is a later rubble lean-to on the left gable, which is open to the northeast side. To the right of the main domestic block, there is another byre section, probably from the late 18th century, which is set back and stepped down. It has an entrance on the southwest side with a modern glazed door and a small plain-glazed window to the right. There is external rubble-stepped access to the first floor at the gable end, with a 19th-century boarded door.

Inside, the right-hand ground-floor room features a heavily beamed ceiling with chamfered beams and run-off stops, a wide inglenook, and a chamfered inglebeam. A 19th-century plain dog-leg stair leads to an upper gallery with stick balusters, and there is a corkscrew stair from the upper half-landing that goes through the thickness of the wall into the upper room in the gabled parlour addition. The interior also includes three 18th-century 6-panel doors, with the panels raised and fielded, and timber-framed partition walls.
