Dan-y-Graig

Dan-y-Graig is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century. The exterior has been altered in the 20th century with dry-dash cladding, a cement plinth, slate roofs, flat eaves, and red brick end stacks. It is L-shaped, with a two-storey, three-window front featuring sash windows dating from around 1900, which have coloured glass margins in the upper panes. The centre has double doors which comprise three fielded panels, set within a timber gabled glazed porch, likely dating from around 1900. Overhanging verges with small brackets are at the end walls. A large window has been inserted into the rear wing on each floor, and a half-glazed door with overlight is centrally positioned to the right of the wing. A stair light is located in the angle between the front and rear ranges. A modern, flat-roofed brick addition extends from the end wall of the rear wing.

According to the owner, the house has remained largely unchanged since its inclusion on the Buildings at Risk register, which described it as having a late Georgian interior. This includes broad six-panel doors, shutters, dados, skirtings and wall panelling. The entrance passage has full-height pine boarding on the left, constructed with alternating wide and narrow boards reminiscent of sub-medieval partitions; a doorway does not exist on the right-hand wall. Rooms on either side of the passage have boxed ceiling beams and flat-headed recesses flanking the fireplaces. The former drawing-room, accessible from the rear of the stair hall, shares this feature alongside boxed ceiling beams with reeded borders. A former harness room is now a bathroom, and a former parlour possesses a broad fireplace with a timber lintel and a 19th-century ceiling. The stair hall, entered from two sides under cambered arches with simple cornices, has a kitchen on the rear north side, featuring a stop-chamfered beam and fireplace lintel, the only features suggesting an earlier origin; the fireplace is said to have contained bread ovens. A narrower six-panel door leads to the cellar. A late 18th-century dog-leg staircase, with turned balusters, a moulded rail and a panelled dado, ascends to the attic. The best bedroom on the first floor retains panelling up to frieze level with fielded panels, broad architraves and cornices, built-in cupboards with four-panel doors, panels above, and pegged racks. Panelling is also visible beneath wallpaper in another main bedroom. A variety of two-panel and four-panel doors, characteristic of the 18th century, are found throughout the bedrooms. The roof comprises five and a half bays with collar trusses, with three bays extending to the rear wing.
