Caer Gai, including adjoining forecourt walls to the NE

Medium-sized vernacular gentry house set behind a walled forecourt. The house is of two-and-a-half storeys and of H plan. Asymmetrical facade with a central entrance section recessed between flanking gabled wings, that to the R broader than that to the L. Of local slatestone rubble construction with renewed slate roof; slated verges. The window arrangement is symmetrical with 2-light modern leaded casement windows (in wooden frames) set in pairs across the 6-window facade. The attic floor has single windows to the gable apexes of the outer wings, and a pair of windows within a large central gabled dormer; slatestone lintels and projecting slate sills throughout. Segmentally-arched entrance to the central section with rough-dressed slatestone voussoirs and a slatestone label supported on end brackets; modern boarded and studded door. Above the entrance is an inset plaque with Welsh inscription. This is of brown sandstone, probably reused Roman material. Further inscribed stones, of similar material, are placed to the L and R of the entrance, at eaves height flanking the dormer windows, and between the floors of the left-hand wing; these have inscriptions in Latin and Welsh.

The right-hand wing has a flush lateral chimney with a boarded door to the R and a large C19 tripartite window of 9 panes; 2 leaded windows above, as before. The L side has an entrance with modern boarded and studded door and 2-and 3-light leaded windows. Rendered rear elevation with squat C19 end chimney to the L wing and a large 2-stage chimney to the R wing; this latter with catslide roof from the main rear roof pitch. Large unrendered lean-to to the L gable end; slated roof.

The entrance facade is fronted by a square contemporary forecourt, the uncoped rubble walls of which stand to their presumed original height of approximately 1.8m on the NW side (R). The NE and SE sides have been reduced to an approximate height of 1m; there is a modern iron gate in the NE corner. The NW stretch adjoins the house flush on the NW side, whilst the SE stretch turns a right-angle immediately beyond the end of the left-hand cross-wing of the house, and returns to enclose a smaller yard on that wing's SE side.

Stone with slated roof and stone stacks; one large lateral chimney and breast. Two slightly projecting wings in front and central gable. 2 storeys and attic. Casements with leaded lights. Doorway has flat segmental head with raked stone.
