Description

Pwllhalog farmhouse is a two-storey building constructed from local axe-dressed limestone, oriented east-west. It features a slightly lower service wing to the north at the east end and a short two-storey wing centrally located on the north side. The roof is covered with thick slates and tile ridges, and the gables are plain. The main range connects to a later, taller western cross-wing, which has a large axial chimney that serves the original kitchen at the junction of the two sections.

The north elevation of the main range includes small stone windows, with the upper ones featuring mullions. The south elevation has altered window openings. At the west end, there is a later, large two-storey cross-wing with an attic, indicating a rise in the status of the house. This cross-wing has a porch on the north side and is constructed using a different stonework technique, with remnants of weathered rendering. Both the cross-wing and its porch have slate roofs and crow-steps. The cross-wing is significantly taller than the main range, with both ground and upper floors positioned at a higher level. It features large mullion and transom windows on the west elevation, complete with label moulds, marking this as the main architectural front of the house. The north elevation of the cross-wing includes mullion and transom windows at the first floor and attic levels.

The adjacent west elevation of the north service wing also has stone windows, including a ground storey window with five lights that has a bottom stone from a farmyard press inserted above it.

Inside, the main range consists of two units: a service end to the east and a large room with an unusually large kitchen fireplace to the west, supported by an irregular timber bressummer. Chamfered beams are present, along with wide doors hung on lugs. A staircase is located between the two units of the main range, with another staircase in the cross-wing. The room above the original kitchen features Jacobean wainscot, and the attic is believed to contain an original truss. Some timber framed partitioning remains in the cross-wing.
