Description
Church House and Barn in Llanllwchaiarn, Newtown, is a 17th-century building featuring two storeys and a cellar, with a two-window layout. To the left, there is a taller, two-storey, two-window brick extension from the early 19th century. The older section is timber framed with box framing and square panels, some of which are brick nogged, while a few daubed panels remain at the rear. The front is pebbledashed with raised eaves. The building has later brick stacks on the right end and a lateral stack at the rear. The 19th-century part is constructed of English garden wall bond brick, with a pebbledashed front and a brick stack. The roofs are gently pitched with slate, featuring deep eaves, bargeboards, and slate-hung gable ends on the 19th-century section.
The older part has three-light casement wood windows with iron opening lights and lead cames, set flush without sills. There is a modern window on the ground floor to the left. A large closed gabled porch features a scolloped bargeboard and a finial. The 19th-century section has a six-panel door and 12-pane sash windows on the first floor, with a shallow upper sash above a 15-pane ground floor sash window. The reveals are plain with stone sills, and there are stone steps leading to the doorway on the right, which has a six-panel door and a blocked rectangular fanlight.
To the left of the house is a two-bay barn, which is timber framed and weather boarded, possibly contemporary with the 17th-century house. At the time of inspection, both the house and barn were derelict. Inside the older part, there is a good stop-chamfered axial ceiling beam, and the cellar below has a cobbled floor. The 19th-century section features round-arched alcoves flanking the fireplace.
