Description

Ffaldau is a two-storey building constructed of painted rubble stone with a slate roof, featuring a T-plan layout and two wide gables on the front elevation. The left-hand gable displays a painted date-stone reading "IP 1704." The right-hand gabled range is a later addition and has a deep-set verge. To the left, there is a one-and-a-half storey rubble and slate range, and to the right, a flat-roofed lean-to storeroom. The building has two rubble end stacks, a brick end stack, and an offset ridge stack made of brick.

The front door, located in the 19th-century range, is boarded and features "Gothic" ribbed detailing within a substantial chamfered frame. Flanking the door are mullion and transom windows, also in heavy frames with small-paned iron frame glazing. The upper windows are similarly styled casements. The 18th-century wing has a random window arrangement, with 19th and 20th-century casements; the front elevation has large multi-paned windows, while the upper windows on the rear elevation have hood moulds above them.

Inside, two original cruck trusses remain, likely framing what was the "hall" bay. These full crucks rest on stone pads and feature a butt jointed apex, a notched and lapped tie-beam and collar, and a formerly diagonally-set ridge piece. Although no wall framing survives, there is evidence of timber framing from a remaining wall post attached to the back of a cruck blade. In 1704, this bay, aligned east-west, was incorporated into a north-south wing with rubble stone front and rear walls. It was also ceiled with scroll-stopped chamfered beams and exposed joists. One end of a beam rests on a moulded wall post. The building has a large open fireplace with a plain timber lintel and a bread oven, while the bedroom fireplace features a scroll-stopped lintel and a later hob grate. Flag floors are present throughout, and the 19th-century remodelled upper end includes plain squared beams, stud partition walls, and simple stick baluster stairs.
