Fachlwyd Farm

L-shaped farmhouse consisting of a primary 2-storey range with a taller additional block adjoining to the L. Of rubble construction with renewed slate roofs; plain rubble stacks, that to the primary section an end-chimney (to the R gable) and that to the additional block a central stack. The earlier range has two entrances, that to the L, the main entrance, with an early C20 slated canopy porch; boarded doors with pegged door frames, the main entrance with a 5-pane rectangular overlight. Both doorways have segmental heads with dressed limestone voussoirs. Flanking the main entrance are windows with similar heads and 2-light C20 wooden casements; to the far R is a further, similar window. Aligned with these are three windows under the eaves, that to the R with glazing as before, the remaining two with early C20 4-pane casements. External stone-stepped access to the R gable end, with segmental first-floor (open) entrance. Long outshut to the rear (an addition of c. 1831) with 2x9-pane sashes.

The taller, additional block has a symmetrical 2-window facade facing S. Central entrance with cambered head and C20 part-glazed door; modern open porch (under construction at the time of inspection, 1/99). Above this is a slate date plaque with the incised initials E.I. O (for Owen), and the date 1831. C20 4-pane sashes to the ground floor, cambered as before, and early C20 four-pane casements to the first floor, under the eaves. The W gable end is rendered and has large modern windows to both floors.

The primary range has an ingle-nook fireplace with chamfered bressummer to the right-hand chamber of the ground floor (former hall), together with a wide stopped-chamfered main beam and some surviving stopped-chamfered ceiling joists; the remainder are C20 replacements. Slate-flagged floor. The C19 main entrance (to L) gives access to the main part of the house, with plain stair to a narrow entrance hall and main rooms off to L.
