'Old House' to south of Egryn Abbey

Boulder stone construction with stone wall-plate; tin sheet roof, coped gable to west; stacks on each gable end (that to west projecting, that to east truncated) and axially (marking the probable original subdivision of the building). Quality of detail suggests that the building's principal elevation was to the north, facing the main house: here there is entrance with dressed quoins and segmental arched head ; window with stone lintel (internally revealed to be ovolo moulded mullioned and transomed) to its right, and a further window (small-paned, but perhaps inserted in earlier opening retaining rough lintel) to the left. Original arrangement of the western section is harder to discern: a left-hand opening may be inserted but the two blocked or-part blocked openings beyond (that to left apparently a doorway) may be original, as they retain heavy stone lintels. Detail in the south elevation appears to relate to change of use to farm-buildings, with doorway offset to right of centre in eastern range (aligned with main doorway to north). 3 long low windows irregularly spaced beneath the eaves. West section has steps up to doorway and enlarged opening at first floor

Not fully inspected, but the eastern section is planned as a large single room with a much smaller chamber to one side, a layout repeated on both floors. 2 stop-chamfered beams flank the aligned doorways; chamfered joists. Large fireplace on east gable wall (including bellows relating to later use as a smithy). On the line of a third beam at the lower end, a later lath and plaster partition separates a small secondary room. Later staircase against front wall and first floor open to roof (one bay originally partitioned off - small fireplace with flat stone lintel). Roof in 4 bays with 3 massive collar trusses; projecting pegs to collar and apex joints.
