Row of outbuildings attached to E.of Carnachenwen

This is an 18th-century farmhouse, with parts potentially dating back earlier. The main section was built in 1743, with further work in 1776. It is constructed of rubble stone, originally rendered, and has a renewed slate roof, with a stone chimney at the west end and a red brick chimney at the east end. The house is a long, two-story range with a projecting gabled porch in the centre. Originally, there were two windows on each side of the porch, but the left side originally had a long lean-to which has been lowered, except at the left end, to accommodate two 12-pane sash windows on the upper floor. The left end of the house has a corner date stone marking 1743 and a door leading into a remodelled smoke chamber. A rebuilt lean-to to the right of this entrance has two 12-pane sashes. The main entrance was originally in the position of the right-hand sash window. The porch had a window on the south side and served as a “ystafell fwrdd,” a room for farm workers with a table. To the right of the porch, there are two original 12-pane sash windows above and two below, with the lower ones not aligned. Brick lintels have replaced the original brick arches over the windows. Loft lights are present in the end gables, and there is a wooden-shuttered window on the first floor of the west end.

The rear of the main house has a 12-pane sash window on each floor to the right, a 1743 datestone in the corner, and a lean-to to the left, which was raised during renovations to above eaves level.

A rear wing to the northeast has a corner date stone reading “W & M Rogers 1776.” It has a door on the west side and a 12-pane sash window below, with brick heads over the opening. There is a renewed stack on the north end. The rear east wall includes a mid-19th-century margin-glazed stair-light to the left and a narrow 8-pane sash to the right, along with a renewed 12-pane sash on the ground floor.

A row of outbuildings is attached to the east end, with corrugated iron roofs. The first outbuilding has three doors, one framed in 19th-century brick and one with double doors; a fourth door is located on the north (rear) side of the building, and a 1754 datestone is visible. The second outbuilding has a higher roof and access from the rear.

The interior has been much renewed, but the west end retains a massive inglenook fireplace with an elm lintel, a bread oven, and a copper. There is an unusual, attached smoke chamber to the south, with a conical roof constructed of corbelled stonework. The present two-room ground floor simplifies the original layout. Unmoulded oak beams are found in the west room. A long room in the main wing has a chimney at the east end. Small wall cupboards and two wall recesses are present on the north wall, and a long wall cupboard is on the west wall. C20 joists are in place. The roof structure has nine collar trusses, with four older trusses made of oak, and two pine trusses reusing oak collars. The rear wing contains a staircase with a thick rail, arch-headed fielded panels, and cupboards.
