Description
Rosa Fawr Farmhouse is a three-storey building featuring a six-window front made of exposed stone, with the sides and rear mainly rendered. It has a slate roof and brick chimneys. The windows are hornless sashes with four large panes, although some are modern copies. The doorway in the third bay is sheltered by a modern gabled open timber porch, constructed in the 1990s using joists from a former 17th-century barn that was once located to the rear. The door itself is a half-glazed double-leaf design.
The left gable end displays exposed timber-framing of small scantling. To the left, there is a single-storey kitchen block that features two large arched sash windows and a large stone chimney. The right gable end has two windows on the ground floor, one window on the upper floors, and two small square attic windows. At the rear, there is a gabled block that contributes to a partial double-pile plan, along with lean-to extensions of various dates and a long rear wing that is positioned at right angles.
Inside, the farmhouse has a lobby entry plan with a former hall to the left. The entrance lobby contains a section of early 18th-century large field panelling that has been placed against its rear wall. The parlour room on the right features transverse lightly-chamfered beams, a fireplace with a cambered lintel, and a second fireplace located at the north gable end. The former hall to the left of the lobby has heavy chamfered longitudinal beams and exposed joists, along with a large fireplace that has a deep, slightly cambered bressumer. The kitchen, located beyond the hall, has been modernised but retains an exposed timber-framed partition wall of light scantling.
There is a cellar with a stone flagged floor and a spring. Behind the hall, an early 18th-century narrow oak well stair is present; the first flight has been altered in the 19th century and features columnar balusters, while the upper flights leading to the second floor are original, showcasing heavier turned balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newels with flat moulded capping. The interior also retains many early 18th-century doors with fielded panels, with five on the ground floor and five on the first floor.
