Fachlwyd Farm

Fachlwyd Farm is an L-shaped farmhouse that features a primary two-storey range and a taller adjoining block to the left. The building is constructed of rubble with renewed slate roofs. The primary section has plain rubble chimney stacks, including an end-chimney on the right gable and a central stack on the additional block.

The earlier range includes two entrances, with the main entrance on the left featuring an early 20th-century slated canopy porch. The boarded doors are set within pegged door frames, and the main entrance has a five-pane rectangular overlight. Both doorways have segmental heads made of dressed limestone voussoirs. Flanking the main entrance are windows with similar heads and two-light early 20th-century wooden casements, with an additional similar window on the far right. Aligned with these are three windows under the eaves; the rightmost window has glazing like the others, while the remaining two feature early 20th-century four-pane casements. There is external stone-stepped access to the right gable end, which includes a segmental first-floor open entrance. A long outshut at the rear, added around 1831, has two nine-pane sash windows.

The taller additional block has a symmetrical two-window facade facing south. It features a central entrance with a cambered head and a 20th-century part-glazed door, along with a modern open porch that was under construction at the time of inspection in January 1999. Above the entrance is a slate date plaque with the incised initials E.I. O (for Owen) and the date 1831. The ground floor has 20th-century four-pane sashes with cambered heads, while the first floor has early 20th-century four-pane casements under the eaves. The west gable end is rendered and has large modern windows on both floors.

Inside the primary range, there is an ingle-nook fireplace with a chamfered bressummer in the right-hand chamber of the ground floor, which was formerly the hall. This room also features a wide stopped-chamfered main beam and some surviving stopped-chamfered ceiling joists, although the remainder are 20th-century replacements. The floor is slate-flagged. The 19th-century main entrance on the left leads into the main part of the house, which has a plain staircase leading to a narrow entrance hall with main rooms off to the left.
