Description

Gales-fawr Farmhouse and Attached Sheds is a T-shaped house dating from the 17th century. The main range is a brick structure with two bays and one and a half storeys, oriented east to west, and it connects to a three-bay, two-storey stone range. There is a lower bakehouse extension to the west and a stone extension to the north, both featuring slate roofs with tile ridges and tile-hung verges. The house has a stone axial chimney that transitions to brickwork at the junction, along with small stone end chimneys on the west and north sides. The livestock sheds to the west are made of rubble stone with a monopitch roof, and the front pen walls have roughly pitched coping. An inaccessible stone structure on the south side of the bakehouse may be an oven.

On both sides of the main range, there are two dormer windows positioned above the ground storey windows. A large modern porch is located on the south side, with an additional window to the left. The north elevation features another ground storey window to the left, but the main entrance to the house is now on the west face of the crosswing. The bakehouse has a modern door and dormer on the south side, alongside an original door and window on the north side. The west gable wall includes a Gothic ogee window, which has been repaired with render and bears the date 1653 and the letter T scratched in a 20th-century style; it is possible that these markings are also present in the stone beneath. The window features a simple Tudor-style label mould.

The crosswing contains a six-pane sash window above a two-light casement window on the east side, and a five-light unglazed window with diagonal square oak mullions in the south gable wall, which is a notable survival, positioned above a two-light modern casement window. The modern northward extension of the crosswing includes contemporary windows and dormers.

Inside the hall area of the house, the inner bay has a slate flagstone floor. The crosswing features two different types of trusses; the northern truss is utilitarian, while the southern truss is of the arch-braced collar beam type, with a chamfered soffit, indicating it was designed for aesthetic appeal.
