Llwyd Coed Fawr Farmhouse

This is a two-storey stone farmhouse with slate roofs and stone chimneys, dating back to the 18th century, with earlier origins. The building is arranged in three distinct blocks. Substantial traces of original render and limewash remain on the exterior.

The left block is now in ruins, comprising two rooms. A chimney is present in the left gable, featuring a wide fireplace with a stone-set boiler below and a bedroom fireplace above. Windows have been walled up. The rear of this block displays a central straight joint and a wide opening, largely walled up, beneath a well-formed arch. Old photographs indicate this block was originally integrated with the advancing wing.

The central, gabled wing is two windows wide, with a central kitchen chimney. The left window on the upper floor is walled up, while the right has been reduced in size. Downstairs, a modern replacement window is on the left, and the main door is accessed via a brick porch to the right. This section served as a crosswing. The roof slope on the left side is less steep than that on the right. Two modern windows have been added upstairs on the left elevation where the ruined wing was attached, and a communicating doorway has been blocked. A rubble stone wall encloses a small front yard, with paving slabs leading to the porch.

The right block stands two storeys high and was originally a four-window range with end chimneys to the left and right. The second and fourth first-floor windows have been walled up. The doorway is located below the third window, slightly to the right of centre. Two original 12-pane sash windows remain, while the other three have been replaced with four-pane windows. A datestone is positioned centrally at a high level. A 1935 modern door and gabled open-fronted porch have been added. The right gable return features a small attic window. A later rubble stone outshut is situated at the rear, incorporating windows in its side. A rubble stone garden wall and hedge enclose the garden at the front.

The ruined left block contains regular, small voids in the stonework on the upper floor, suggesting it was once panelled. A large fireplace is found in the end-chimney at the gable end, with a water boiler on the left.

Inside the central block, a partitioned corridor is located to the right of the entrance, and a large kitchen is present. The fireplace is currently covered, but a large opening is known to exist on its left side, likely used for drying firewood or salt. The roof is inaccessible, but it’s believed to date back to the 18th century, with earlier origins.

The right block contains a 19th-century staircase adjacent to the central block. Classicising fireplaces are present, along with fielded panelled doors leading to the upper floor and one downstairs (other doors faced in hardboard may be of similar style). The roof structure is inaccessible but appears to be from the 18th century where visible.
