Blaen-y-Cwm

Blaen-y-Cwm is an L-shaped farmhouse dating from the 18th century, constructed of local quasi-dressed slate masonry, except for the south gable which has been rebuilt in brick and has lost its chimney. The roof is made of small slates, and there is a stone end-chimney on the east side. The entrance is located on the east side of the south wing, featuring a door to the right and a small-pane sash window to the left. There are two stone dormers with unequal heights through the eaves, one of which retains a small-pane sash window, though they are not aligned with the window and doorway below. The south elevation has a window below and a similar dormer above, which are also misaligned. The rear of the house has a former door and two windows.

A small stone-walled enclosure is located at the front of the property.

Inside, the main east/west range contains two rooms divided by a timber-framed partition. The eastern room features two cruck frames and intersecting chamfered beams that create four squares with chamfered joists that change direction. There is a large fireplace in the eastern room, with a stone staircase recessed into the wall to the right of the hearth.

In the south wing, a large moulded transverse beam supports two ovolo-moulded longitudinal beams with unchamfered joists, and there is a 19th-century wooden staircase. On the first floor of the south wing, there is a timber-framed partition above the heavy transverse beam, along with 19th-century partitioning.
