Nant-y-Ffrith

Nant-y-Ffrith is a two-storey farmhouse that includes a cart bay and stable accommodation, forming a long, integrated rectangular range. The building is constructed from whitened rubble and has slate roofs. The house and cart bay share a continuous roof, while the stable section on the left is slightly elevated. The farmhouse features an end chimney on the right gable and a near-central entrance with a boarded door in a wooden frame, along with an exposed timber lintel that is shared with an adjacent 12-pane sliding sash window to the right. There are similar windows to the left of the entrance and on the upper floor beneath the eaves, although most panes are broken.

To the left of the entrance is a wide cart bay with a segmental arch made of rough-dressed limestone voussoirs and timber lintels below. A two-light window under the eaves provides light to a loft above, which is accessed by a flight of stone steps that ascend from left to right, located to the left of the cart bay, leading to a boarded and framed upper entrance.

Adjacent to the left and flush with the main block is the stable range, which has three entrances with cambered heads; the leftmost entrance is the tallest. There is also a similar window with vertical wooden slatting to the left, a square unglazed window opening to the upper floor on the right, and a boarded loading bay on the rendered left gable end. The farmhouse section has a one-and-a-half storey dairy outshut at the rear of its right-hand side, featuring an entrance and window on the ground floor, along with two additional windows under the eaves, though most glazing is lost. To the right of the house section is a single-storey brewhouse block with a brick end chimney. The stable section has two rubble outshuts at the rear; the left one is slated, while the right one has a corrugated iron roof.

Inside, the farmhouse has plain joists and stopped-chamfered, limed main beams in the ceilings, with earth floors. The main ground floor room features a simple original wooden fireplace with a cambered head.
