Description

Siambr-wen is a two-storey farmhouse from the 19th century, facing east, with a long central rear wing that is also two storeys but has slightly lower roof eaves. The building is constructed of white-painted quasi-rubble and features slate roofs. The front section has a hipped roof with large stone chimneys at both ends, while the rear wing has a gabled roof without a surviving chimney. There is a small single-storey annexe at the south-west corner, located where a former fireplace was.

On the front (east) side, the house has flush-framed small-pane mullion and transom casement windows set in segmentally arched openings below, with smaller similar mullion windows above near the eaves. A modern porch is situated at the centre. At the rear of the main section, there is a similar upper window south of the rear wing, along with a small window on the ground floor north of the rear wing. The eaves project moderately all around, and the large chimney stacks are made of the same white-painted stonework.

The rear wing features windows and a door on the north elevation, while the south elevation is blind. The north side has three ground floor windows in segmentally arched openings and a door within a modern porch, as well as two upper windows that are likely in altered openings. Inside, Siambr-wen retains a large fireplace at each end of the main range and a lateral fireplace on the south side of the rear wing.
