Description
Graiglwyd Farmhouse is a near-symmetrical two-and-a-half storey house built of whitened rubble and topped with a slate roof. It features stone coped gable parapets and plain end chimneys. To the right, there is an off-centre 19th-century porch made of rubble with a slated roof and plain bargeboards, which contains an earlier 19th-century boarded door with a plain rectangular fanlight. To the left, there is a blocked entrance that was likely similar to the porch. The farmhouse has plain recessed Victorian sash windows on all floors, with those on the upper floor set within wide gable dormers. At the rear, there is a single-storey service range with a pitched roof, dating from the 19th century.
In front of the farm complex, two sections of ovolo-moulded sandstone mullion, dating from the 17th century and presumably associated with the site, are incorporated into a modern rubble wall.
Inside, the ground floor left room, which was formerly a parlour, has a heavy beamed ceiling with stopped-chamfered joists and a main beam that is widely chamfered and supported by a corbel on a rubble wall. There is also a surviving transverse beam that shows evidence of a former post-and-panel partition screen. The first floor features random width oak floorboards.
