Description

Dolwar-fach, also known as Dolwar-fechan, is a two-storey stone farmhouse built in a symmetrical design, featuring a stone front porch. The exterior is constructed from informally coursed local stone that has been axe-dressed. The roof is slate and includes stone end-chimneys. The main entrance is through a boarded door, and while the farmhouse has modern replaced windows throughout, the front windows maintain the original proportions. The lower front windows are adorned with stone arches. There are brick extensions at the rear, some of which have flat roofs. The porch opens directly into the main room on the right, with a parlour located on the left.
