Description

Trelydan Farmhouse is a building that likely dates back to the early 17th century, although it has undergone significant alterations. It features a hall and cross-wing design, with a storeyed porch located at the junction of the two sections. The cross wing has been raised in height, and the main range has been partially rebuilt in brick at both the front and rear. Additionally, the roof has been re-pitched to a lower angle, possibly at a later date.

The exterior consists of a long main range with a taller cross wing to the northeast, and the storeyed porch at the angle between them. The main range is faced in brick, while the gable end reveals exposed timber framing. The cross wing is also timber-framed, showing the original roof-line on both sides, along with thinner framing that indicates its later heightening. A lean-to extension covers the ground floor of the cross wing. The porch is timber framed as well, featuring some decorative baluster-type elements below the upper window. The main range has two sets of three-light casement windows, with the lower windows having single ring cambered heads. The gable end and the cross wing have wood mullioned casements that have been renewed, though they likely occupy earlier openings. The building has slate roofs throughout, with brick gable ends and axial stacks topped with moulded brick caps.

Despite the alterations, Trelydan Farmhouse remains an important example of the regional vernacular architecture of the 17th century, both in its layout and construction.
