Description
Myddynfych is a gentry house dating from the 16th to the 18th century, which has now been converted into a farmhouse. It features colourwashed render and slate roofs, with a cross plan layout. The building has rendered stacks on the south end and west end gable, as well as a large lateral stack in the northeast angle. It stands two storeys high with an attic. The northern range, which is likely the oldest part from the 16th century, was raised in the 17th century and includes an eastern lateral stack with an exposed stone chimney breast that is stepped and rendered above. There are four-pane sash windows on each floor to the right. The north end gable has a lean-to, and there is a window on each floor of the west side. The eastern and western wings form a T-plan with the main range. The short eastern wing, which contains the staircase, is made of stone and rendered in the gable, featuring two windows. The western wing has a rendered stack on the west side, a colourwashed south wall with a four-pane sash window in the centre of the first floor and another on the ground floor to the right, along with a six-panel main door set diagonally in the angle to the south wing. The south wing has the lowest eaves, a four-pane sash window in the centre of the first floor, and another on the ground floor to the left of centre. There is a large lean-to on the south end with a long roof that is hipped at the join with the main roof, featuring one door and a small upper window.
The property was not inspected recently, but in 1991, the northern room had plastered chamfered beams, and the main fireplace had been narrowed with the lintel cut. The first floor showed signs of an earlier gable level, indicating a 16th-century open hall that was raised later in the 17th century. The roof features a four-bay collar truss, likely from the late 17th century. The eastern gable had a stone staircase winding around a solid stone core, which corresponds to the current floor levels, suggesting it is probably from the 17th century. The western range included a chamfered beam on the ground floor, a thick eastern wall to the main house, and a single bent-footed truss, which could indicate a 16th-century parlour wing. There may have been a mural stair between the two ranges. The southern range is from the later 17th century or 18th century and features ogee-stopped chamfered beams and two cupboard recesses on the west side. The roof trusses in this section are chamfered collar trusses.
