Description

Storeyed end-chimney farmhouse of irregular plan; its front (W) facing a farmyard behind low rubble forecourt walls. Built of whitened rubble with slate roof and kneelered gable parapet to R; right hand chimney is more massive and has weathercoursing. The first floor has a central sash window with similar window to R, both set at eaves level. On the ground floor is a central doorway (boarded door with diamond window and old latch); a slate plaque over the entrance records the birth of Thomas Gwynn Jones. To each side of doorway are large six-pane sash windows; all the windows are modern replacements of C19 originals. To the L, at right angles, is a single storey block (possibly a former dairy) with boarded door and window. The L (N) gable end of the house has a first floor sash window and entrance doorway beyond; 2-storey wing with 6-pane sash window to each floor and stone chimney. Adjoining beyond is a lower (former brew-house) block with a square window; end chimney with semi-circular 'Popty-Mawr' oven projection. The rear of the house (S) has a single-storey outshut.

To the L of the entrance part of oak in-and-out partition is exposed. The room to the R has a longitudinal stop-chamfered beam with stop-chamfered joists to rear. The L room has a modern wooden stair. The roof structure is ceiled but parts of 2 curved principal rafters are visible on the landing, with heavy purlins in some bedrooms.
