Bancygwin

Bancygwin is a farmhouse and lofted cow-house built in line, with the farmhouse on the right, which is colourwashed, and the cow-house on the left, made of whitewashed rubble stone. The farmhouse features a thatched roof covered in corrugated iron and has one stone chimney stack at the right end, while the left stack is missing. It is an irregular two-storey structure with a three-window range that is offset to the right. The upper floor has three small square windows with timber lintels under the eaves, each with four panes. On the ground floor, there are 9-pane sash windows on either side of a 4-panel door, all with timber lintels. The door and the right window align with those above, while the left window is set further right than the one above it. There is another window on the ground floor further left, likely intended to light a fireplace stair, which is similar in size to the sashes and has a timber lintel. Additionally, there is a roofless lean-to made of rubble stone on the right end wall.

The lofted outbuilding to the left has a lower roofline and eaves, featuring a slate roof, and its wall appears to be continuous with that of the farmhouse. Originally, it had five doors with timber lintels and square loft openings above the second and fourth doors. Three of the doors are now partially blocked and converted into windows.

There is a suggestion that a blocked door from the house to the byre indicates possible origins as a longhouse.
