Description

This is a substantial stone farmhouse, built in a characteristic Snowdonian style. It dates to an unknown period but is likely of early origin, situated on a sloping site with massive boulder foundations. The design is L-shaped, with a main two-storey wing. The front of the house has three windows and is limewashed, with an undulating Welsh slate roof and tall stone gable-end chimney stacks. An off-centre entrance is complemented by a smaller window at the uphill end of the ground floor. The window openings were probably enlarged in the 19th century and now contain modern plastic windows; a modern door has been installed. Blocked attic windows in the gable ends suggest that the attics were previously used as living space. A lean-to against the uphill end has been removed. The gable ends and the rear of the house are unrendered.

The entrance leads into the former cross-passage, now blocked off at the rear, with a simple 19th-century staircase now present. The kitchen, now located to the right, was formerly the parlour, featuring a boxed partition beam and a blocked fireplace. The living room, to the left, was originally the kitchen, with a chamfered ceiling beam and a modern fireplace set in a blocked opening. A stone fireplace is visible beside it, now blocked at the top, and a slate lintel remains above the former stair window. The doors are characteristic of 19th-century and later alterations, and the floors are flagged. A small room at the uphill end has been blocked off. Upstairs, the ceilings have been removed to expose an intact three-bay queen-post roof with pegged trusses and two tiers of purlins. Some oak floorboards remain, alongside a post-and-panel partition between the staircase and the first-floor chamber in the wing. The cross-wing was unheated and likely served as a back kitchen or service wing.
