Description
Neuadd is a one-storey house with an attic, built from random rubble stone that has been painted white, and topped with a stone tile roof. It features a large roughcast tapering ridge stack at the center. The house faces west and has gabled dormers to the right and left of the center, which contain renewed sash windows set in 19th-century brick surrounds. To the right of the center is a cross-passage doorway that has 19th-century stone dressings. To the left of the center, there are inserted French doors, and further left is a casement window in an earlier opening. The south gable end has sash windows in brick surrounds that were inserted in the 19th century, while the north gable end has inserted casements. At the rear, the cross-passage doorway is round-headed with a 19th-century dressed stone surround, and to the right of this doorway are two windows with drip moulds that were enlarged in the 19th century and fitted with modern casements. To the left of the cross passage is the gable of a former projection, which had a stepped external stack; this projection has now been replaced by a 20th-century wing.
The layout of the house is essentially that of the late 16th century. The cross passage features an original 15th-century post-and-panel partition at the lower end of the house, which is partly damaged. The doorway from the passage to the hall, inserted in the late 16th century, has a Tudor head and a chamfered surround with broach stops. The late 16th-century fireplace has a chamfered surround with a timber lintel, and there is an adjacent stone stair. The 15th-century post-and-panel partition between the hall and inner rooms retains one triangular door head. Cross beams that were inserted into the hall and passage in the late 16th century have stepped stops. The five-bay roof features arched-brace trusses. It is noted that the partitions between the original hall and outer bay are said to consist of timber framing with lath and plaster infill at attic level, but these were not observed.
