Description
Mamhilad House Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building constructed from rendered local sandstone rubble with Welsh slate roofs, some of which are partially missing. The house features a main wing that is two and a half storeys high and an earlier one and a half storey rear wing. The main elevation has four bays, with the entrance located in the second bay. This entrance consists of a moulded and fielded six-panel door beneath a gabled porch. The windows on the main front are three-light mullion-and-transom timber windows from the 19th century or modern, except for a two-light window to the right of the door. The second window is set in a panelled recess topped with an open pediment, a feature not visible in a 1906 photograph. The roof is plain and has three renewed gabled dormers, with only two dormers present in 1906. There are gable end stacks and another stack located in the cross-passage. The older rear wing includes an attic accessed by an external stone stair and has a steeply pitched slate roof.
During the resurvey, the interior was not accessible, but previous records by Fox and Raglan noted various details, including a shaped doorhead and a 15th-century pointed doorway to a garderobe, which they believe was off a solar. They also mentioned the presence of chamfered beams in the older part of the house.
