Primary House at Cae Serwyd

This is a former farmhouse with an adjoining later stable block, situated to the south. The house is constructed of whitened rubble stone, resting on a boulder plinth, with a slate roof and a central rubble chimney featuring a crude capping and weathercoursing.

The main house section has a boarded door on its east-facing side, which opens onto the yard. An early three-light wooden mullioned window sits under the eaves to the left of the door, now with plain modern glazing. A stone staircase rises to the right of the entrance, leading to a first-floor boarded entrance, a feature of 19th-century alterations. A small window is located immediately to the right of the staircase, featuring a late 19th/early 20th century six-pane fixed window under an exposed timber lintel. A further boarded entrance is situated to the right of this. The stable block is stepped up and incorporates a central entrance with a restored cambered head and a boarded stable door. Two windows with cambered heads and 20th-century steel-framed glazing flank the entrance.

The rear elevation has a boarded door to the left, accompanied by a curved rubble projection to its right, likely related to a former oven. Two square window openings on each floor are positioned to the right of this, with the upper left window being a two-light design, all featuring exposed timber lintels and contained within a 20th-century corrugated iron lean-to. Further to the right is an advanced catslide cart bay projection, adjoined to the rear of the stepped-up stable block; a full-height open cart entrance is visible on its return. The south gable end has an upper boarded opening with a segmental head defined by rough-dressed limestone voussoirs, while the north gable features a square, unglazed upper window opening.

The interior follows a lobby entry plan, with a hall to the left of a central chimney and a potentially unheated outer parlour beyond. A fragmentary, original post-and-panel screen separates these two rooms; the right side features stopped-chamfered sides, indicating the original entrance. A lower service room is located to the right. The rooms all have beamed ceilings, incorporating ogee-stopped, chamfered main beams and plain joists. The hall is distinguished by a wide fireplace with a plastered, chamfered bressummer. A primary partition truss is visible on the first floor to the left, with some surviving plastered infill panels and raking struts above the collar, along with renewed purlins and most rafters.
