Description

Cwm Gwdi Farmhouse is a house constructed of white-painted rubble stone, featuring slate roofs and a prominent central roughcast chimney. The building has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar. The chimney is distinctive, comprising a diagonal cross of four shafts.

The front of the house has a lower one-and-a-half storey projecting porch wing on the right, which includes a small 20th-century gable window above the door. The door has a cambered yellow brick head, a boarded door, and an overlight. There are no windows on the right side wall, while the left side features a three-light window with top-lights. The left side of the main range has a blocked upper window above a square lower window, which is part of a larger opening that is also blocked and has an oak lintel and hoodmould. Below this is a basement two-light mullioned window with a hoodmould. To the right of the projection, there is a narrow wall with a remnant of a stone shelf above a blocked small opening. The right end wall includes a 20th-century loft window. Attached to the right is a lower addition with two large garage doors at the front, along with a further lower 20th-century small rendered addition.

The rear of the main house is rendered and has two upper windows fitted with 20th-century uPVC glazing. The left window is flanked by two large projecting stones set about one meter below the eaves, with another pair of stones at the center between the windows. The ground floor has a 20th-century window to the left, a 20th-century window with a stone shelf above, a central six-pane cambered-headed basement or under-stair window, and another stone shelf above a blocked opening. The two openings with stone shelves align with the two windows above. The rear of the addition with garage doors features a 20th-century dormer and a shallow-pitched roofed 20th-century addition.

The interior has not been inspected, but it is said to contain a cellar beneath the parlour on the left and a kitchen with a stone well stair on the right. The doorways have shaped heads with ovolo-moulded jambs, and the doors are studded with moulded cover strips and wrought iron fleur-de-lys hinges. There is a late Tudor stone doorway leading to the cellar, and stone corbels support heavy plain chamfered beams in the parlour.
