Description

Llwyn Llwyd is a farmhouse constructed from roughcast rubble stone, topped with a slate roof and featuring a chimney on the left end, while the right chimney is missing. The building is two storeys high and has a double-fronted design that is notably offset to the right. It includes twelve-pane horned sash windows and an off-centre board door, which is positioned closer to the right window. The sills are made of cement. The left end of the farmhouse is rendered and has an attached low outbuilding. The eastern end is also rendered and features one nine-pane window on the first floor, along with a rear lean-to that has two new windows facing north and a small nine-pane window in the eastern end.

To the west of the house, there is an attached long stone outbuilding that is set lower than the farmhouse. This outbuilding has a nine-pane dormer with a catslide roof that breaks the eaves, and a door with a brick head situated between two small windows that have stone voussoirs. Below this outbuilding, there is a very small stone building at an even lower level, which includes a brick chimney and a new nine-pane window. Further down, at a lower level still, there is a pigsty featuring two entries and two walled enclosures. The rear walls of these structures have been rendered with roughcast.

The property has not been inspected.
