Moelfre Hall

A 2½-storey farmhouse in local uncoursed small slate masonry incorporating some larger sandstone blocks; restored slate roofs with lead gutters. The main range of the present house (perhaps a wing of the C17 house) ranges north/south downslope, and there are short 2½-storey lesser wings approximately centrally on the east and west sides of this range.

On the west (principal entrance) side of the main range there is a wing left of centre with a lean-to at its left side and a lateral chimney at its right side, plus a lean-to incorporating the porch. On the east side of the main range there is a wing left of centre with a large lateral chimney at its left angle (including a bressummer now exposed) and a staircase enclosure in the right angle.

All windows have been replaced in timber to modern design, but the retention of old timber lintels suggests there has not been much alteration of window positions.

The original plan form of Moelfre hall, assuming what remains to correspond broadly to the original extent of the house before its early enlargement, is no longer readily interpreted. Exposed purlins in the attic indicate this range may predate the now-demolished main range which formerly extended to the east.

The remaining house has a kitchen to the north and the staircase is in the angle of the east wing. It has good exposed timber ceilings, one with moulded joists; open fireplaces. Wide C17 staircase through two storeys with large and heavy flat pierced balusters on closed strings, plain rails, and double-width newel posts some with modern heads and pendants.
