Description
Rhostwarch is a farmhouse that features pebbledash exterior, which was previously whitewashed rubble stone, and has an imitation slate roof with rendered stone end stacks, the larger stack located to the right. The roof was originally covered with grouted slate until 1961. The building is two-storey with a broad facade that has three windows, which are later 19th century horned sash windows with marginal glazing bars and cemented sills. The left ground floor window is misaligned with the one above, indicating it has been enlarged. There is a central 20th-century door, and the right end wall displays an eroded date plaque. The left end features a pair of first floor casement windows and a part-blocked ground floor window. At the rear, there is an outshut roofed with asbestos sheet and a raised catslide roof over a small six-pane stair-light.
Inside, the ground floor rooms step down, suggesting that the house was originally smaller and has since been enlarged, with the upper left end displaying very thick walls. The ceilings are boarded, concealing beams and joists. There is a small dog-leg rear stair with stick balusters and painted graining. A six-panel door leads from the hall to the left parlour, while a four-panel door leads to the kitchen on the right. The parlour features a deep chimney breast and a part-blocked window in the recess to the right, along with a wall cupboard with glazed doors on the rear wall. The kitchen contains a large fireplace behind a modern stove, featuring a massive timber lintel that is forked, with a bread oven incorporated within.
