Description

Dolobran is a traditional farmhouse built with polygonal masonry featuring galetted joints, and the gable end of the barn is made of small layered shale. The building has slate roofs. The farmhouse follows a traditional living hall and inner room plan, oriented northwest to southeast, and includes a gable end stack. A narrow carthouse has been added to the southeast end, and there is a three-bay barn positioned at right angles to the front, which has been extended to the northeast and features various lean-to additions on the southwest side.

The entrance to the house is located against the gable end stack and is enclosed in a 20th-century lean-to porch. The living room and former inner room have small metal-framed windows, and there are two similar dormers that light the attics. The barn, positioned at right angles, has a renewed high barn door that breaks the eaves and two metal windows, with the lower window lighting a cowhouse at a lower level. A small dormer is situated above the barn doors. On the northwest side, two additional lean-to cowhouses have been added to the barn range, featuring stable doors and metal windows, along with a stable and storerooms, all covered by large connected lean-to slated roofs, including one dormer with a cat-slide roof.

The earliest dwelling, now functioning as a farm building, is located at the northeast end of the extended barn range and has a gable end stack. There are further lean-to domestic extensions at the rear of the house, which include an end entry and small roof lights. Inside, there is a large inglenook fireplace at the southeast end of the early living room, along with a chamfered spine beam. The roof of the house consists of three bays, with two trusses that are said to be of open upper cruck form, featuring elbowed blades. The earliest dwelling at the rear has a wide splayed gable end fireplace with a side oven. The barn attached to the south side consists of four bays with queen-post trusses, one of which is dated 1691, and shows evidence of wattle and daub partitioning, along with three tiers of purlins.
