Description

Coed-y-dinas Farmhouse is a substantial farmhouse built in several phases during the late 18th to early 19th century, with possible earlier elements dating back to 1720.

The farmhouse features a main range facing south, a short parallel rear wing, and a cross wing to the west that previously served as servants' accommodation, a dairy, and a cheese room. The main range is constructed of Flemish bond brickwork, while the cross wing is made of local sandstone rubble. The roofs have been renewed with concrete tiles on both the main range and the cross wing.

The main south-facing range is three storeys high with four windows and a central entrance that consists of a six-panelled timber door set within a gabled porch with a stepped profile. To the right of the entrance are 16-pane sash windows with single ring cambered brick heads, and there is an inserted window to the left. The upper windows are three-light casements with single ring cambered heads on the first floor. The eaves cornice is dentilled.

Adjoining the left side of the main range is the stone cross wing, which has a lean-to wooden porch on the ground floor, with a blind elevation above. There is a brick dentilled eaves band. The parallel rear range is two storeys high with a hipped roof and axial stacks. It features flat arched gauged brick heads above iron small paned casement windows, with four on the ground floor and three above.

At the rear of the main range, where it meets the projecting cross range, there is a hipped roofed stone porch with two and three-light casement windows that have cambered voussoir heads. The brick dentilled eaves cornice matches that of the main range.

Coed-y-dinas Farmhouse is an important part of a group that includes its 19th-century farm buildings.
