Description
Wyfydd is a single-storey and attic building featuring a brick-nogged and square-panelled timber frame, now topped with a corrugated iron roof. The western gable end has been rebuilt in sandstone for a dairy, with an added brick lean-to beyond; the original house may have extended further. The southern wall has been largely rebuilt in modern brick but retains the original timber frame below the eaves and features a timber doorhead over the main entrance, which is located in the cross-passage. There is one gable dormer to the left and a window opening below it. The northern wall, particularly the eastern end, retains the original frame largely intact, with a similar doorhead over a former doorway that now has a small-pane window inset. The eastern end includes one of the two full cruck trusses and a two-light attic window. The chimney has been removed externally.
The dwelling is currently abandoned and in poor condition. It has an unusual two-bay plan that includes a very narrow service room beyond the passage. It retains two full cruck trusses: one at the eastern end and another at the center, which is heavily smoke-blackened. The purlins are morticed for windbraces, and the central truss is cut at the front, which coincides with the rebuilding of the northern wall. A large stone fireplace was later inserted, backing onto the passage near the central truss, and at the same time, the building was ceiled with simply chamfered beams. A second fireplace was added later. The presence of two staircases suggests that the building was once divided into two cottages.
