Description
Ty-llwyd Farmhouse is a farmhouse, likely dating to the 17th century, constructed of whitewashed rubble stone with a slate roof and brick end stacks. The farmhouse has two storeys. A two-storied gabled porch is positioned slightly off-centre. To the left of the porch is a single-storey outshut which has a corrugated roof; on the ground floor and extending upwards. A 17th-century opening with a dripstone is partly blocked, and an inserted 20th-century window is visible. The porch features a segmental stone archway to the entrance and a single-light window above. Inside the porch is a plank door accompanied by stone seats on the side walls. To the right of the porch, on the ground floor, is a square window opening with stone voussoirs to the arch and a thin stone sill. The west gable wall displays a remaining stone oven. The back wall has two upper window openings with dripstones, one of which is now blocked, and a small 20th-century four-pane window on the ground floor to the right. Attached to the farmhouse to the right is a cow shed and cart house constructed of rubble stone, featuring window and door heads with stone voussoirs. The arrangement is a plank door, followed by a partially blocked door opening, another plank door, and a large semicircular arch associated with the cart house; the roof is now corrugated and lowered.
The farmhouse has a two-room plan. Entry is directly through the porch into the main hall. A smaller parlour is located off the hall to the right, and a straight staircase rises directly ahead from the back of the hall. The ground floor features stone flagged floors and very thick walls. The hall contains a large fireplace recess, now partly blocked, with a 19th-century mantel shelf located above it, set off-centre at the right end of the fireplace wall. The ground floor ceiling and stairs date to the late 19th century. The upper floors and roof space were not inspected.
