Cwm Chwefru Farmhouse

Cwm Chwefru Farmhouse is a one-and-a-half-storey farmhouse, likely dating to the 17th century, constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof. The roof features eyebrows over the upper windows and rubble stone end stacks. The main entrance is on the south side, offset to the right. It features a recessed door with ribs within an ovolo-moulded timber surround, protected by a long timber lintel. A stained-glass window dated 1878 is located to the left of the entrance, possibly within an original opening, with splayed reveals. A late 20th-century three-light wooden window sits to the left of the door, and a similar single-light window is to its right, both also with timber lintels. Two more similar three-light windows illuminate the upper storey, with a small light positioned under the eaves between them. A large, flat-roofed dormer is centrally placed, featuring a four-light window. A small, single-storey range has been added to the west gable end, incorporating a planked door to the front and a skylight above. A small 20th-century window is set offset to the left of the gable end.

The north side mirrors the front to the left and centre, with a two-light window on the lower storey and a three-light window above. Three skylights are present within the roof pitch. A single-storey dairy range has been added at a right angle to the right. This dairy range features a three-light window to its gable end, a single light to the east, and stable doors to the west. A small added range to the west has a planked door to the left, with the wall advanced to the right.

The interior is arranged with a central entrance leading into a hall to the left and a parlour to the right. The hall’s upper end features a large fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel inscribed '1688'. Inside the fireplace is a bakeoven to the right and a salt niche to the left. To the right of the fireplace is a timber doorway with a triangular head, leading to fireplace stairs with high, deep treads, and also to an external doorway which now opens into a later range. The current staircase is 20th century, replacing a 19th-century staircase in the same position. This staircase is adjacent to the front wall and partially obscures the stained-glass window, which was brought from another house. To the east side of the hall is a post and panel partition screen with a triangular headed doorway to the left, now infilled, inscribed 'Deum Time'. The screen has been cut back at the right end, removing another doorway. The hall’s central cross-beam features cut stops, with a slot at the south end which likely held a partition. The parlour has a small fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel and a cross-beam. The dairy wing, now the kitchen, is located on the north side. The attic is said to be three-bay, retaining original tie and collar beam trusses, and containing a flat, ogee-headed doorway.
