Railings and Gates to Caerfynnon

Caerfynnon, built around 1800, was originally a farmhouse and inn, known at different times as the Cross Foxes and later the Wynnstay Arms. It is prominently located on the north side of the A458, opposite the junction with the minor road from Tynewydd.

The main building is two storeys tall, featuring a three-window range with a central entrance and gable end stacks. It has lower two-storeyed bays on each side that are slightly set back. The rear wing extends to the east. The main range has slate hanging, while the rear is timber-framed and rendered on the flanking blocks. The roofs are slate with end wall stacks throughout.

The central entrance is highlighted by an open-work timber-panelled porch with lozenge decoration on the frieze. The flanking windows are tall 16-pane sashes with fine glazing bars and reveals, while the first floor features similar 12-pane sashes. The flanking blocks also have similar windows, but the ground floor includes inserted French doors on each side. The rear of the main range shows light-timber framing, including a lean-to at ground level, with painted brick nogging. Although there are largely modern openings in the lean-to, there are two small-paned horizontally sliding sash windows with small panes on the first floor, and a third window has been renewed in an earlier opening. The rear wing is constructed of brick and features small-paned iron three-light windows with chambered brick heads.

Stone steps lead up to the front door, and the front garden is enclosed by iron railings on a stone plinth. The railings have fleur-de-lis style heads, and there are two gates: one at the front and another on the west side.

Caerfynnon is listed as a well-preserved former farmhouse from around 1800, notable for its contribution to the townscape and group value.
