Description
Middle Maestorglwydd House is a semi-detached stone farm building dating from the 18th century. It is one storey high with a semi-attic, constructed of stone rubble that is mostly rendered, featuring slate on the front and asbestos slate on the rear. The windows are fitted with 20th-century steel or wood casements. The west elevation is approximately symmetrical, with gable-end chimneys; the south side has a rectangular chimney, while the north side has a square chimney set diagonally. The original plank door is framed in a double ovolo-moulded frame, with an inner Tudor arch that is also ovolo-moulded and carved with chevrons. There are three original windows, although they have been renewed, including one in a dormer, with stone labels and timber lintels. The east side features one window with a stone label and a modern door beneath a damaged stone hood. At the rear, there is a single-storey lean-to made of concrete blocks. The north gable has an original window that has been narrowed, with a stone label and a 18th-century iron casement.
Inside, there are three original doors with shaped frame-heads, two of which have plain or moulded planks, and the ground floor is stone-paved. The entrance passage includes two moulded plank and muntin partitions, along with deep chamfered ceiling beams and stop-chamfered joists. The original hall features double ovolo-moulded ceiling beams with two types of end-mouldings; the west window retains an old cill and head, with five sawn-off diagonal mullions. The fireplace has a deep timber lintel that is ovolo-moulded with moulded stops, and adjacent to it is a wooden staircase. The lesser room contains deep chamfered ceiling beams and stop-chamfered joists, with a partition from the 18th or 19th century and an oak plank door. There is a dairy with a slate slab and an east window with an original lintel. On the first floor, the roof has a collar, and a truss near the centre features a doorway with a steep Tudor arch that is chamfered.
