Fachwen-ganol

Fachwen-ganol is a house that runs north to south and faces east. It is built with axe-dressed uncoursed masonry, showing slight traces of limewash, and has a slate roof with a tile ridge. There is a stone mid-chimney located just north of the entrance and an end-chimney at the south gable. The house is designed to slope down to the south, resulting in four levels of flooring, although the roof remains level, which is also reflected in the varying heights of the ground storey windows.

On the front (east) side, the ground storey features a central door with a modern light timber porch, positioned where the original cross-passage was located. To the left in the back-kitchen or possibly former byre section, there is a door with a timber lintel and two modern windows with segmental arches. Above the central door, in the original domestic area, there is a single window and a door (recently created at the site of a former window) to the right, both with segmental arches. Above these, there are five three-light small-pane upper windows dating from the 19th century.

At the rear, there are modern windows and a stone-built rear extension with a low-pitch lean-to roof.

Originally a hall house, it has been converted to an outside-cross-passage type, with one surviving cruck frame visible from the first floor level at the back of the main chimney. At the upper end of the hall, there is a post-and-panel partition, with its door originally on the west side, now relocated to the east.

At the south gable, there is a second chimney that serves a large hearth below and a small chamber hearth above.
