Description
Llwyn-Cadfor is a late 19th-century building featuring smooth, unpainted rendered main elevations and slate roofs. It has buff brick gable chimney stacks at the front and a broad rubble gable stack at the rear wing. The front range is two and a half storeys tall with three bays, showcasing 12-pane horned sash windows on the ground floor and 4-pane horned sashes on the first floor, all with slate sills. The entrance has a 20th-century half-glazed door with a plain overlight.
The right end of the building is made of rubble and includes a 6/3 hornless sash window, while the left end features a 4-pane horned sash window in the gable. The rear wing, which likely has earlier origins and was probably raised in the early 19th century, is of similar height to the front range. Its west facade has two bays, offset to the right, with a 20th-century door on the right and a 12-pane hornless sash window on the left, along with a similar sash window above and a small 20th-century window to the right. The attic contains two 2-light 4-pane casement windows, and the rear side of the wing has a dairy outshut with 20th-century glazing, except for a 6-pane casement window on the first floor left.
Notably, the main room of the rear wing, which serves as the kitchen, features well-moulded large oak beams with stop-chamfers and crudely scratch-moulded joists. The moulding between two steps is convex in profile, and this ceiling, likely from the 17th or 18th century, was reordered during the 19th-century remodelling. There is a massive inglenook fireplace with a chamfered timber bressumer and a dairy with a slate cooling-slab. The front range exhibits good early 19th-century details, including 6-panel doors on the ground floor. The hallway features a pair of segmentally headed timber arches, one of which contains the cellar door adorned with a plaster branch motif in relief on the tympanum. The other arch leads to an early 19th-century stick-baluster staircase with four flights, simple turned newels, and scrolled tread-ends. The rear wing has a collar beam roof with roughly chamfered trusses resting on wall-posts, mortice and tenon apexes, pegged joints, and iron cramps, while the remainder of the roof is boarded in.
