Description

Caer Farchell Farmhouse is an early 19th-century large farmhouse constructed of rubble stone, featuring an unpainted scribed rendered front, a grouted slate roof, and purple Caerbwdy stone end stacks. The building has a two-storey, three-window front with hornless 12-pane sash windows and a central door with six flush panels and a traceried overlight. The west wall is rendered.

The east end wall is made of rubble stone, and there is a northeast rear wing that includes a high purple stone north stack. The house has an outshut at the rear and a wing to the east. The northwest courtyard at the rear is enclosed by the wing and features a 12-pane sash window on each floor, along with a door that has a brick head, located at the rear of the main house. There is one window on each floor in this area, and an open-fronted seat facing east, which has a lean-to grouted roof against a rubble wall. This wall connects the northwest angle of the house to the southwest angle of an outbuilding and includes a boarded window into the seat and a doorway to the right with a low iron gate.

In front of the main house and to the west, there is a garden enclosed by rubble walls topped with white stone indented capping. Two square ashlar piers are located on the west side, supporting a wooden gate.
