Description

Ysgwennant is a two-storey house built from local quasi-rubble masonry and topped with a slate roof featuring plain verges. The front elevation, which faces the road, includes a cross-range on the left with an advancing gable that has an arched porch beneath a catslide roof. To the right, there is a short cross-range that ends with a flush gable at the front and a slightly projecting gable at the rear next to a small lean-to. The roof has slate covering with tile ridges and lead gutters. There is a tall masonry stack, which has been widened with an additional flue, located towards the right, along with a later brick stack at the left apex. The front elevation features four windows, which are a mix of two or three-light modern timber casements, some of which have cambered brick heads.

On the left side elevation, there is an arched opening that extends from the gable end. The rear of this elevation has a door and windows with altered fenestration and small panes. At the back, a rubble and slated range connects to a lower granary that has studded and brick-nogged construction, with cart sheds underneath supported by monolithic stone and featuring an outside stone stair at the end.

The rear of the north-east range includes a box-framed gable with small panelling, and there is an adjoining extension with a catslide roof and a plain boarded door.

Internally, the main range of the house retains two massive partially exposed cruck trusses, with a third said to be concealed. The accessible east cruck frame is closed, while the west frame is open and features a collar with a decorative carving on the underside. Additional timbers have been added to raise the roof pitch.

During an inspection in 1988, it was noted that the east wing likely has collar-beam trusses from the medieval period. The lower floors were reported to retain significant medieval and 17th-century details, including timber-framed partitions, stop-chamfered beams with feathered and ogee stops, exposed feet of cruck blades, chimney beams, early door frames, and a rear dog-leg staircase.
