Ynys Wye Farmhouse

Ynys Wye Farmhouse is a two-storey farmhouse built from rubble stone, which was formerly whitewashed, and features a slate roof with stone chimney stacks at each end. The front has a three-window range with horned 16-pane sash windows and a central boarded front door that has a blank panel above, possibly indicating a blocked overlight. The windows have cambered heads made of stone voussoirs and thin stone sills. The left end wall includes a pair of small-paned casement windows in the attic and first floor, while the right end wall is blank. At the rear, there are late 20th-century casement windows on the upper floor, a long central stair-light with 20th-century glazing, and a boarded door on the ground floor to the left, all featuring cambered heads and stone voussoirs.

To the right, there is a rear wing with a stone end chimney, a door, and a 20th-century triple casement window at the front. A triple casement window on the outer rear wall is a later addition, and there is a lean-to on the end wall that was formerly used as pig-sties.

The interior follows a Georgian plan with a central hall and a dog-leg staircase that has stick balusters, a thin rail, and a thin newel post. There are six-panel doors leading to the rooms on either side and to the first floor, along with panelled cupboards. The attic features plank doors and a five-bay roof supported by earlier 19th-century trusses of an unusual design, which have been varied to allow access. Each truss includes a centre post and a diagonal strut on one side, while the other side has a doorway and smaller struts. The openings in each truss vary from side to side. The rear wing has had its loft floor removed and features stone flagged floors, with a massive end chimney breast that steps back twice at loft level, including a curved corner for access. There is also a stone winding stair beneath a cambered-head lintel, shaped from the underside of the tie-beam, along with three tie-beam trusses that incorporate reused principals and angle struts, and triple purlins, some of which are larger and older.
