Description

Cae Saer is a two-storey, four-window house, likely dating to the 18th century, constructed of whitewashed rubble stone with a slate roof and large stone end stacks. Decorative openwork bargeboards adorn the gables, and the house features irregular casement windows and sash windows under timber lintels. An adjoining single-unit outbuilding is situated at the right end of the house, and a large wing extends to the rear, comprising two parallel ranges of one-and-a-half storeys. The west side of this wing connects with the gable end of the outbuilding.

The front facade includes a two-storey, half-timbered gabled porch in the second bay from the left, built upon an older rubble stone plinth. The porch features an elliptical archway leading to a boarded door with strap hinges. On the left return, there is an opening containing three turned balusters, while a blind opening with turned balusters is present on the right return. The timber framing consists of small, close-studding, small box-panels, diagonal and arched braces. The upper storey of the porch is jettied on corbels, with a wooden cross-window featuring quarries; single lights are positioned on either side of the porch. The gable is slightly jettied on brackets, with two arched braces, plain bargeboards and a finial. The main range of the house exhibits a 2-light casement to the left of the porch, a tall stairlight with large panes to the right of the porch, a six-pane wooden window to the far right, and a pair of iron casements with quarries, a two-light window to the left and a three-light window to the right. The upper storey incorporates a 12-pane horned sash to the left of the porch and a 6-over-3-pane sash to the right. The northwest angle of the range sits on a plinth of large boulders.

The rear of the main range is two-window wide, with a canted bay to the left, which is covered by a hipped rooflet containing French doors with large panes, accessible by stone steps. To the right of the canted bay is a 12-pane horned sash, with similar windows in the upper storey immediately under the eaves. The rear range is slate-hung to the left of the canted bay before it joins the rear wing. The east gable end has a 12-pane sash offset to the lower right.

Adjoining the right end of the house is a lower, narrower two-storey unit. The front features a boarded door to the right and a 2-light casement to the left; in the upper storey, a 20th-century metal window is positioned beneath the eaves. The gable end has a small, single light offset to the right of the lower storey. An offset at the first floor level suggests that the upper storey was raised later, with the lower storey connecting to the rear wing.

The two-gable rear wing has a brick ridge stack to the west range and a brick end stack to the east range and is whitewashed on the west side. The west range possesses a boarded door offset to the right of the gable end, a small-pane window to the left, and a three-light window on the upper storey. Its west side has irregular 20th-century small-pane wooden windows, two to each storey. The east range is two-window wide with tall 20th-century two-light wooden casements; the upper storey windows are placed beneath gabled half-dormers with plain bargeboards and finials. There are no openings to the gable end. The interior was not inspected during a recent survey.
