Cwm-Berllan

Cwm-Berllan is a house that includes an integral cow-house and an added lower barn. It is constructed of whitened rubble stone and is limewashed, with a slate roof on the house and cow-house, while the barn has a corrugated metal roof. The openings feature modern lintels. The central entrance has a modern boarded door flanked by boarded-over windows. The cow-house has three doorways and a central loft doorway located below the eaves. At the lower end, the barn features a large threshing doorway, which has an opposing doorway at the rear, along with modern boarded doors and lapboarding above. The apex of the gable end is also covered in lapboarding. A rear window in the house has an ovolo-moulded wooden frame, although it is boarded over. The cow-house includes a broad rear window.

The house retains a remarkably complete 17th-century plan. An entrance lobby leads to a service room on the right and a large parlour at the rear, while on the left is a kitchen that has a fireplace (the stair to the right of the fireplace has been removed). The fireplace beam features incised zig-zag decoration, and a spine beam has ogee stops. There is a new softwood floor in the room above the kitchen. A post-and-panel partition separates the service room from the parlour, featuring an ogee-moulded doorway. The rear area has reeded joists in the ceiling, which are in poor condition. The lofted cow-house consists of three bays and has remnants of a central feed passage that previously accommodated ties for twelve cattle on each side. The three-bay barn has roof trusses with raking struts. In both the house and cow-house, the principal members of the old roofs remain, along with new secondary rafters and ties.
