Description

Nweuadd Farmhouse is a single-storey and attic farmhouse dating from the Sub-Medieval period and the 17th century. It features rubble walls that are partly coursed and partly whitewashed, located to the south of the farm buildings. The farmhouse has a steeply pitched corrugated roof, with slate covering the rear pitch on the north end. A large rubble chimney stack is centrally placed, featuring high weathercourses and four separate diagonal rubble chimneys, each with moulded caps and necking bands.

The east front has casement windows, while the south end of the west front includes two modern casements with depressed ogee-moulded cement lintels. There is a blocked entrance recess beneath the chimney stack and a notable four-light window from the 16th century, which has half-round and fillet profiles on its timber mullions, a timber lintel, and a stone drip-mould. At the north end of the west front, there is a single-storey whitewashed rubble lean-to with a brick chimney stack at the base of the pitch. The north end is finished with rubble and corrugated material, and purlins project behind the bargeboards. A modern single-storey brick extension has been added, which is not depicted in the National Monuments Record photographs from 1968. The south end is plain and whitewashed, featuring a buttress.

The original layout of the farmhouse is unclear, but 17th-century alterations included dividing the building into two floors. The interior retains cross-beams with feather stop chamfers on the ground floor, along with one sunk quarter roll moulded beam. Evidence of its much-altered cruck origins is still visible.
