Description

Rhyd-Wen Farmhouse, likely built as a farmhouse or possibly a pair of dwellings with an attached cottage that was originally an outbuilding, dates primarily to the 1630s and 1640s, with doorways marked as 1635 and 1641. The structure is built of roughly coursed and squared stone with a slate roof, featuring a brick end wall and axial stacks. The farmhouse is a low two-storey building, originally a long range comprising a three-unit house (or a two-unit and a single-unit house), to which a lower single-bay outbuilding was added. This outbuilding was later converted into a separate cottage, and the end unit of the farmhouse was divided off to become part of the cottage. The house faces south. A modern porch features a shallow 4-centred arch with a lintel bearing the date and initials "K over I.H." A 20-pane sash window is located to the left of the porch doorway, with a 12-pane sash to its right, and three similar windows above. To the left, a doorway—also marked with initials "K over I.H." and the date 1635—is now a 12-pane sash window. A further 16-pane sash window is followed by a 12-pane sash window above. This end unit appears to have originally been part of the main house but is now separated. The windows are framed by moulded architraves, and the remains of stone mullions, cut through when the sashes were inserted, are visible in the sills and lintels of most windows. A single-unit extension to the right was probably added in the 19th century as a single-storey service room and raised in height around 1950. A lower outbuilding to the left was likely added to the main range in the 18th century.

Inside, the farmhouse retains some original structural features, including paired axial beams with geometrical chamfer stops in the east room, and an inglenook fireplace—modified—and an axial beam with a stepped chamfer stop in the west room.
