Former Dwelling to Rear of Heol-ddu

House of two storeys and an attic, in rubble sandstone masonry brought to courses at the front and randomly coursed elsewhere. Ashlar quoins. Considerable traces of whitewash. 45 degree pitch roof restored with modern single-lap tiles at front, slated but ruinous at rear. Ashlar end chimneys, that at left being the larger one serving the original kitchen.

The front is a range of three windows, slightly asymmetrical to allow for the kitchen hearth. Cambered arch heads, no sills remaining; remnants of casement windows with central mullions. Wide door (1.32m), without an overlight. In the left gable elevation are attic windows with dripmoulds each side of the chimney, in the right gable elevation are similar attic windows, the rear window blocked. In the rear elevation are two blocked stairs-windows, and a wide door at left with small barred window above. Beam-holes of a former extension at right, which does not appear to have communicated internally with the house. The datestone is at high level centrally in the left gable wall.

The original plan appears to have been the common one with central entrance opposite to a staircase; but no partitioning remains internally. However, the roof structure is of five bays with a wider bay centrally indicative of the plan-type. The kitchen was at left. Large kitchen hearth with an inserted pier of masonry its right, and an inserted boiler for animal feed. Close to this is a corn-dryer. In the part of the ground storey at right which had been the parlour there are stillages of stone slabs on stone piers against the front and end walls.

The first and attic floors have collapsed but some of the rotten beams remain.

In very poor condition at times of inspection (1992, 1998).
