Blaen-Cwm-Llawenog

Long range of one-and-a-half-storeys, apparently comprising a 3-unit dwelling to the left, with a single-unit added to the right, perhaps as a separate-dwelling, and extended to the left end also with an agricultural range, probably contemporary with the conversion of the end bay of the house for agricultural use. Roughcast render over stone (exposed in the left-hand bay), with slate roof. Projecting stack to N end with yellow brick shaft, rough cast stack to left of centre, with original entrance immediately in front of it, to give a lobby-entry plan. Boarded doorway asymmetrically flanked by 3-light small pane casement windows with cast-iron glazing bars and segmentally arched heads. Similar window to right of entrance in right-hand bay, which has boarded door with small over-light. 4 gabled dormers in the upper storey, with segmental brick head into left-hand agricultural bay. Lean-to at rear - the former dairy.

Original house comprises two rooms either side of a central chimney, with further former domestic unit at left, and possible separate dwelling added to right. Lobby entry plan, with large stone chimney; fireplaces to either side, each with roughly arched and chamfered bressumer. Left hand fireplace has integral bread-oven. Both these rooms have longitudinal beam, with distinctive deep chamfer with scrolled stop. Mortices from an earlier lower ceiling survive in right-hand room, the existing joists probably the result of remodelling work in the C19. Doorway with shaped head into left hand room, which retains some original stop-chamfered joists to rear of main beam. A similar beam survives in the room beyond this, indicating that it was once part of the dwelling. The right-hand unit also has a similar stop-chamfered longitudinal beam, but its position towards the rear of the room suggests that it is not in-situ. In the upper floor, timber-framed trusses and partitions survive between the two left-hand units, and immediately to the right of the stack. Left-hand partition has rail below tie-beam, which has been cut for a doorway. Above the tie-beam, a collar with struts and a second collar. The underside of the rail is morticed for posts - suggesting a timber-framed wall pre-dating the present stone wall. Several other elements of the truss appear to have been re-used, including a chamfered ceiling beam, and the head or sill of mullioned windows. Similar truss adjacent to chimney also has rail with braces to tie-beam, and posts to collar.
