Description
The Old Farmhouse at Waen Farm is a former house that has been converted into an agricultural building. It is a single storey with an attic, featuring red-brown brick walls and a prominent chimney located towards the center of the ridge. The building has a stone plinth that is higher at the rear, and the roof is covered with small slates arranged in diminishing courses, with some areas of corrugated sheeting on the rear slope. The wall-plates show peg holes indicating the former timber framing.
On the front (south) elevation, there is a broad cart opening on the left, followed by a camber-headed doorway with a boarded stable door, another camber-headed doorway with a boarded door, and a camber-headed window with small-pane casement glazing. At the attic level, there is a window in the left gable, and a small rear lean-to covered with a corrugated roof.
Inside, the left doorway leads to a former hall, which features a square-framed timber partition on the left and a roof truss above that retains infill between the framing. To the right of the entrance, there is an arch-braced truss supported by brick piers, a later tie-beam, and a ceiling made of rectangular joists with narrow chamfers. There is a stone fireplace with a timber lintel to the right, along with a wooden stair at the rear. The room at the left end has a longitudinal stop-chamfered beam and stop-chamfered joists, with straight cut stops on both. The right doorway leads to a lobby created by the side of the stone fireplace, and to the right is a room with a transverse beam that has roll-moulded angles and chamfered joists with ogee stops. This room also features a fireplace with a wooden lintel that has stops similar to the joists. Much of the old roof structure remains intact.
