Description
This is a late 17th-century group of farm ranges, significantly remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries, located to the east of Rhandregynwen. The main farmhouse is two storeys with attics, originally with dormers (now removed). It is built of rendered brick with a decorative dentil course at the eaves. The house is a single block with 18th and 19th-century brick lean-to additions to the rear and a 19th-century rubble wing. It has slate roofs, raised gable ends with stone coping, two brick end stacks, and a brick ridge stack to the right of the centre. There are four windows to the front, all tripartite sash windows with segmental arches, except for a smaller single sash window above the right-hand door. A mid-19th-century metal-framed casement window is in the rear lean-to, with other windows of various later dates. Two front doors are present: to the left, a plank door with a rendered porch under a hipped slate roof; and to the right, a panelled door with an overlight, set within an open timber porch under a hipped slate roof.
Inside, the ground floor contains a large central room with two axial beams, stop-chamfered with scroll stops, and a large inglenook fireplace. Other rooms have boxed beams. An 18th-century staircase rises to the rear of the central stack, featuring a closed string, column-on-vase balusters, a plain turned newel, and a moulded newel cap. The rear lean-tos include a dairy and a scullery, which retain original features. The dairy has a large rough beam, ceiling hooks and rods, large slate slabs on brick piers, and shuttered windows.
To the east of the farmhouse is a very large courtyard of brick and slate farm buildings, predominantly of mid-19th-century construction, but incorporating parts of earlier brick buildings. Notable features include the wide arches of the open-fronted cattle shelters. Upper loading doors are present in the south and west ranges, the latter raised one storey above segmented-arched cartsheds (now garages).
