Caerfynnon

Caerfynnon is a building dating from around 1800, originally serving as a farmhouse and inn, formerly known as the Cross Foxes and later the Wynnstay Arms. It is prominently located on the north side of the A458, opposite the junction with the minor road from Tynewydd.

The main block of the building is two storeys high and features a three-window range with a central entrance and gable end stacks. On each side, there are lower two-storeyed bays that are slightly set back. The rear wing extends to the east. The main range is covered in slate hanging, while the rear is timber-framed and rendered on the flanking blocks. The roofs are slate with end wall stacks throughout.

The central entrance is highlighted by an open-work timber-panelled porch that has lozenge decoration on the frieze. The flanking windows are tall 16-pane sashes with fine glazing bars and reveals, while the first floor features similar 12-pane sashes. The flanking blocks also have similar windows, but with French doors inserted at the ground floor on each side. The rear of the main range includes light-timber framing and a lean-to at the ground floor, which has largely modern openings but retains two small-paned horizontally sliding sash windows with small panes on the first floor, along with a third window that has been renewed in an earlier opening. The rear wing is constructed of brick and has small-paned iron three-light windows with chambered brick heads.

Stone steps lead up to the front door, and the front garden is enclosed by iron railings on a stone plinth. The railings feature fleur-de-lis style heads and there are two gates, one at the front and another on the west side.

Caerfynnon is listed as a well-preserved former farmhouse from around 1800, recognized for its townscape and group value.
