Description

Lower Wenallt is a building that is partly one storey and partly one and a half storeys, with some sections being two storeys high. The structure is made of stone, featuring a rear covered in Welsh slate and a front with concrete tiles. The chimneys were built or rebuilt in 1827. The eastern part of the building has timber-lintelled windows, with at least two original windows that open into the hall's stonework, featuring plate glass. There is an upper window on the south side that appears to have been inserted under reused timber and has modern shutters. The eastern end has a gable light under a stone label. The western part of the building has a door and windows with segmental arches from 1827, including two and three-light wooden casements as well as some PVC windows, and an oak-plank door in a modern porch. The ground-floor rear has modern windows.

The two-storey section has been significantly modernised on both floors. The staircase, dating from 1827, features a columnar newel, and there are plank doors from the same period. The black slate chimneypiece is also from 1827. The hall is accessed by two steps and has a heavy oak doorframe from the 16th century, with an oak plank door from the 18th century. The roof consists of two bays with smoke-blackened heavy purlins that are mostly original. Originally, there was a central truss with a pair of chamfered crucks and a high arch-braced collar. The fireplace has monolithic jambs and a deep stone lintel with a chamfer; it also retains a complete pot-crane. The stubs of a floor from 1613 remain, along with window-seats. The eastern end has a partition that has been restored but incorporates a tiebeam, collar, and intermediate post, with a modern oak door. The floor was originally earth but has been replaced with stone, and there is an internal ladder stair on the old site. In the upper room at the eastern end, there are a pair of collared crucks in the end wall.
