Description

Maes-y-Bidiau is a 1½-storey house built of whitened rubble stone, featuring a steep slate roof. It has a 17th-century square stone stack on the left and a smaller stack on the right. The central entrance consists of a 19th-century boarded door set under a wooden lintel, with an overlight positioned beneath the eaves. This door is flanked by inserted windows. The right gable end includes a small lean-to addition and an inserted attic window in the upper left of the gable.

To the left of the original house is a lower single-storey former byre made of rubble stone, which has a 20th-century boarded door on the right, replacing an original opening that served as the entrance to the longhouse. This byre also features two inserted windows and a window on the left that replaces an earlier but not original byre door. A garage has been added inline at the end of the former byre. The rear of the former byre includes an outshut, which was originally a dairy, with a replaced window on the left and skylights. The main house's rear also has skylights, a 19th-century stair window beneath the eaves on the center-left, an inserted window under an added roof dormer on the right, and a shallow outshut under a catslide roof with an enlarged window on the left.

Inside, three pairs of scarfed crucks are the earliest surviving features of the house. The current interior layout dates from the 19th century. The entrance leads into a small stair hall with a dog-leg stair, and the floor is covered with 19th-century quarry tiles. The original hall on the left retains a fireplace with a large timber lintel, and to its left is a wood-framed doorway that forms the original entrance to the domestic accommodation.
