Ty-mawr Farmhouse

Ty-mawr Farmhouse is a two-storey plus attic building dating from the 16th century, with significant alterations and additions made later. The original core of the house retains group value and is of particularly important architectural merit. The farmhouse is constructed of stone, with rendered walls and a stone tile roof. Many original oak window frames remain, although they have been reglazed, generally with casements. A boarded porch with a monopitch roof shelters the entrance doorway on the left side of the house, and a simple boarded door provides access. There is a single, broad window on each floor, fitted with 1996 replacement 5-light oak ovolo mullioned windows. A stone chimney is visible on the right gable. The right gable end features a 4-light attic window, a 5-light first floor window, and a 3-light square stair window with a 20th-century casement. The left gable end has new windows on the ground, first, and attic floors. Two new roof lights have been added to the north slope of the main roof.

A rear block, also with a stone slate roof hipped to the south, incorporates a stone chimney. The east elevation has a broad 5-light window set at eaves, alongside a square casement window with 4 + 4 panes. A small square window is present on the ground floor to the left. The north gable end features a ground floor window with a label in the blocked doorway, and a new casement window above. To the west of the rear block is a later kitchen, which continues the roof slope of the rear block, as the ground falls to the west. A square stone chimney stands to the north of the kitchen, along with a camber-headed doorway and window. A further lean-to has been added to the north wall of the kitchen.

The remains of walls and some foundations of a 16th-century house are situated to the north east of the present farmhouse.

Inside, the entrance doorway opens into a hall paved with stone flagstones. This hall features heavy, stop-chamfered beams, with mainly boarded ceilings, although roll-moulded joists are visible in a recess to the right of the fireplace, which includes a spice cupboard and a further cupboard to the left of the fireplace. All joists are roll-moulded, and all beams have lambs' tongue stops. To the left of the fireplace is a stair doorway with a timber frame with a pointed head, a boarded door with strap hinges, and a recess in the masonry to accommodate the door. Stone stairs lead upwards, with a shaped head on the doorframe at the top of the stair. An adjacent doorway to the attic also has a pointed head. The first floor is subdivided with tongue-and-groove partitioning, and features heavy, stop-chamfered beams (tie-beams to the roof), and roll-moulded joists where visible. The partitioning cuts across a stone fireplace with chamfered jambs and a front window, while a doorway with a pointed head provides access to the rear wing. Wooden stairs lead to the attic, which houses a roof of four bays, with principal rafters and trenched purlins. These purlins were partly altered when the pitch was lessened to accommodate the stone tiles, presumably after the roof was originally thatched. To the rear of the hall is a kitchen, with two rooms to the right. One room, adjacent to the hall, has a former doorway to the porch of the 16th-century house, displaying a 4-centred arch of chamfered stones. The room to the rear (the former porch) has stop-chamfered beams with bar-and-scroll stops, and an inner doorway with a 4-centred arch.
