Gwindy Farmhouse with walls and railings to garden

Gwindy Farmhouse is a two-storey house with a nearly symmetrical front that features three windows facing south, constructed from coursed hammer-dressed masonry. The building includes an older northwest rear wing and a later northeast rear dairy wing, which is dated 1852. It has a slate gabled roof with a tile ridge and end chimneys, which appear to be 19th century with plinths and corbelling.

On the front elevation, the porch and the central window above it are slightly offset to the right. The windows are replaced 12-pane exposed-frame sash windows with flat-arch heads made from the same masonry as the walls. The porch, also built from similar masonry, has a plain boarded door set under an elliptical arch. The porch features a parapet at the front with raised corner bases that likely once held finials or ornaments. Inside the porch, there is a slate floor and slate side-seats, while the door itself consists of six moulded panels, with the top two panels being glazed.

The northwest wing has a cement-rendered west elevation that includes modern windows and a door. It has a slate gabled roof with stone stacks and a blank north gable. The north elevation of the northeast wing features a first-floor sash window that is three panes wide above a modern window. Its east elevation, which faces the garden, has two first-floor sash windows, each three panes wide, above two modern windows.

The garden to the east of the house is enclosed by a high stone rubble wall on the north side and a low stone wall on the south side, which extends at a lower height before the front garden of the house. This lower wall is topped with neat 19th-century wrought-iron arrow-headed railings, and there is a central gate with similar ironwork. A stone boundary wall runs along the west side of the garden, featuring a small iron gate with uprights that meet at the top in pairs, and a stepped mounting block is located in the yard against the west wall.

The plan of the house, as described by the Royal Commission, is typical of the 18th century, with rooms situated on each side of the stairs passage. The northwest rear wing has a deep fireplace with a timber bressummer and an irregularly chamfered transverse ceiling beam.
