Former Domestic Range at Melai

The Former Domestic Range at Melai is a two-storey rectangular building made of whitened and roughcast rubble, with origins in cruck framing. It features a roof covered with large, graded 19th-century slates and has a squat end chimney on the northwest side. There is a segmental entrance to the left of the center, which has a 19th-century boarded door. Next to this entrance is a 19th-century 12-pane casement window, with a later casement section added to the center. The building connects to the main farmhouse through a short, high wall made of rendered rubble, which has a round-headed arch in the center. To the right of this wall is another square-headed entrance with a boarded door and a rectangular overlight. There are two plain window openings with modern glazing to the right of this entrance, followed by another entrance similar to the previous one. The upper floor has four windows with modern glazing located under the eaves. The northwest gable features a modern external access to an upper entrance with a deeply-recessed modern part-glazed door, while the southeast gable has an open loading bay.

The rear roof pitch is shallower on the last bay to the right, indicating a 19th-century extension. A primary rubble plinth is visible at the base of the building.

Inside, the structure has a three-bay layout with two pairs of cruck blades embedded in the walls. The cruck blade on the southeast side serves as a partition truss, which may have originally been an end truss, and features vertical strut framing that is partly obscured by lath and plaster. The trusses are constructed with double pegging.
