Description
Carneddau is a 2-storey house constructed of rubble stone, topped with a slate roof. It features a rebuilt rendered stack on the right and a tall stone stack at the end of the rear wing. The openings are primarily located on the left side. The central entrance is segmental-headed and has a half-glazed boarded door. To the upper left of the doorway is a small window, while to the right is a tall window that extends up to the eaves, along with a small pantry window further to the right. The left gable has a blocked upper-storey window due to the higher ground level. The rear of the house is built against a steep bank and has been rebuilt in blockwork on the right side of the rear wing. On the downhill-facing side of the rear wing, there is a boarded door, a wooden cross window to the right, and a boarded-up window to the left, located directly below a 4-pane window in the upper storey.
Attached to the house is a lower cow house, also made of rubble stone and covered with a slate roof. It has three boarded doors, and the gable end features a weatherboarded loft with a boarded door. Although not inspected, it is reported by RCAHM Wales to retain a post-and-panel partition.
