Ffawydd including stone cattle ramp at downhill end

This is a late 17th-century house built into a hillside, with a two-storey main house at the uphill end and a higher two-storey former byre at the downhill end. A small, projecting stair turret and a large, added outshut are also present behind the byre. The house is constructed of whitewashed rubble sandstone, with a graded stone tile roof that has been restored to the outshut. A 19th-century stone ridge stack has been rebuilt on the left side of the centre of the main house.

The uphill end has two small-pane windows in the upper storey, a fixed window to the left on the lower level, and a paired late 19th-century sash window in an earlier opening to the right, sheltered by a drip stone. The doorway, located to the right of the stack on the downhill end, is set within an added gabled porch and leads into a cross passage. It features a modern shaped door head with a stop-chamfered surround and a boarded 19th-century door brought from another location. A 19th-century half-dormer with a sash window sits above the doorway, and a more recent casement window has been added further to the right in an earlier opening. The lower level of this section also has a four-light window with diamond mullions to the left and an inserted door to the right.

Against the right gable end is a cobbled cattle ramp with a rubble stone revetment. Within this right gable end are the sawn-off beams of a former pentice, a five-light diamond mullion window (now glazed) to the centre, and former doorways to the left and right, which have been converted into windows. Above this, to the right, is a similar first-floor window inserted in 1963, interrupting the line of a drip stone that once defined the former pentice roof. A small ventilation slit sits to the left of this inserted window. A similar ventilation slit is present in the attic.

The wall of the outshut curves at the downhill end to follow the line of the cattle ramp. Facing the ramp is a two-light small-pane casement under a timber lintel. At the rear, the outshut has a centrally inserted casement window, a half-lit door to the right, and a hen house projecting forward to the left side. An extension to the outshut has been recently added behind the stair turret. The rear of the uphill end includes a recently inserted casement window upper right in an earlier opening, and a similar, larger window below in what was previously a doorway. A three-light attic window with diamond mullions is located in the uphill gable end.

The original 17th-century layout is maintained, with the hall and inner rooms separated from the former byre by the cross passage. The door to the hall has a four-centred head, and a stone stair is located alongside the fireplace. A post-and-panel partition between the hall and inner room is a recent addition, brought from another site. The house retains two pairs of upper crucks, with crudely constructed principals added in the 19th century when the walls were raised. Above the lower end, the principals remain, but the tie beams have been replaced with collar beams. A timber-framed partition with modern infill, added in the 19th century, creates a room above the cross passage in the byre loft.
