Attached former Farmbuildings to Blaenddol House

Blaenddol House is a 2-storey house with a cellar and a central rear wing containing the staircase. A curved slate staircase leads to a terrace alongside a later hipped-roofed porch, which fronts the central entrance. Three 3-light casement windows flank the doorway, with matching splayed stone lintels; a further three windows are above. Chimneys are located on the rear wing, originating from a rear wall fireplace of the right-hand unit, and on the left-hand gable. The earlier 18th-century wing projects to the left and is built on a full-height basement storey. The gable end has paired blocked windows on both the high ground floor and first floor, and doorways are present in the return elevation, with decorated slate bearing the inscription “R over G.M.”. A large lateral chimney is connected to the main roof line by a gablet.

Attached former farmbuildings stand immediately west of the house. The earliest farmbuilding incorporates a doorway in the angle with the house’s west wing. A slightly later building adjoins it, with a doorway to its right and paired windows. A further building, built later still, features two doorways and small windows at varying heights. The earliest farmbuilding is divided internally into two bays by a central truss, which appears to have been partially cut by later roof alterations. The truss incorporates queen posts above the tie beam, with a broad king post above the collar. Remaining elements of a panelled partition wall exist below the truss. The lower unit suggests earlier domestic use, with chamfered and stopped spine beams with run-out stops. The other buildings have queen strut roofs.

The main house interior comprises two rooms, a central entrance, and a stair hall. The right-hand room has a rear wall stack, chamfered and stopped joists, and a transverse beam. A similar beam is found in the left-hand room, which features an end wall fireplace containing a mid-19th century cast iron range. Internal partition walls are mostly timber-framed, and the roof is divided into three bays by A-frame collar trusses. The principal room of the west wing has a fine plaster ceiling, divided by a central beam into two panels. Each panel displays central and corner roundels featuring low relief rosettes, birds, suns, or pendant stars.
