Neuadd

One-storey house with attic, of random rubble stone painted white and stone tile roof. Large roughcast tapering ridge stack to centre. The house faces W and has gabled dormers R and L of centre with renewed sash windows in C19 brick surrounds. The cross-passage doorway to R has C19 stone dressings. To L of centre are inserted French doors and further L is a casement window in an earlier opening. The S gable end has sash windows in brick surrounds inserted C19. The N gable end has inserted casements. To rear the cross-passage doorway is round-headed with C19 dressed stone surround, to R of which are 2 windows with drip moulds enlarged C19 and with modern casements. To L of the cross passage is the gable of a former projection with a stepped external stack (the projection now replaced by a C20 wing).

The plan form is essentially that of the late C16. The cross passage has an original C15 post-and-panel partition across the lower end of the house (partly damaged). The doorway from the passage to the hall, inserted late C16, has a Tudor head and a chamfer surround with broach stops. The late C16 fireplace has a chamfered surround with timber lintel, and an adjacent stone stair. The C15 post-and-panel partition between hall and inner rooms retains one triangular door head. Cross beams inserted into the hall and passage late C16 have stepped stops. The 5-bay roof has arched-brace trusses. (Partitions between the original hall and outer bay are said to consist at attic level of timber framing with lath and plaster infill, but these were not seen.)
