Neuadd Farmhouse

Neuadd Farmhouse is a farmhouse of likely late 16th century origin, with later alterations and additions, situated in a rural setting. The front (south) elevation is smooth, rendered and painted, while the rear is of painted rubble. The roof is slate covered, with a steeper pitch to the western range. The south front is divided into an older hall range to the left and a parlour range to the right. The hall range has a broad, rendered gable stack to the right, and the parlour range has a low lateral chimney to the left, with a narrow brick lateral flue roughly centred. Lateral brick chimneys are present on both rear outshuts, having been heightened in brick. All windows have been replaced with plastic. The hall range's south front has a small upper window to the left and a larger window under a shallow dormer gable on the first floor. The ground floor has a small window to the left and taller window to the right. The parlour range has two first-floor and two ground-floor windows, the right-hand ground-floor window being smaller. A gabled porch is situated on the ground floor to the left of the hall range and contains a round-arched window. The right gable end has a ground-floor door and a first-floor window and attic window. The rear of the hall range features a broad, later lean-to addition built of rubble with a slate roof and C20 glazing to three windows. The rear of the parlour range includes a small, added outshut abutting the lean-to, with a hipped slate roof; it has a door and a window facing east and a large, rounded oven projection to the left of the chimney. A first-floor window above the outshut has a timber lintel. The ground floor of the parlour range has a central blocked doorway with windows on either side, both with timber lintels.

The plan retains a cross-passage, containing a 19th-century enclosed staircase, with a hall range to the west and a parlour to the east. The older range contains a hall and inner service rooms. The hall is a fine room with a massive fireplace featuring a chamfered ashlar lintel and jambs. A winding chimney stair is located on the left, blocked to the upper levels. Three hollow chamfered beams with plain stops are visible; these, along with the fireplace, may date to the late 16th century. A fine post-and-panel partition is present, with chamfered posts stopped low down, and the faint outline of a former bench is discernable. Plain end doorways incorporate added boarded doors. A stone-flagged floor is also present. Two inner former service rooms have three beams similar to the hall; the right room has putlogs set at waist height, likely for former shelving or benching. The left room has a mural stone stair to the first-floor level, which is also accessed from the bedroom above via a small hatch. A further flight of stairs leads to a small chamber in the roofspace, where headroom is reduced by the lower height of the bedroom ceiling. A pair of roof trusses is visible in the hall range. The cross-passage has a marginal half-glazed door leading to the porch, and a planked door into the hall. The parlour is at a lower level and features a single chamfered beam and plain stepped stops. It contains a 19th-century grate. The roof of the parlour range has three pairs of thin collar-trusses. The rear outshut kitchen retains a stone corbel of a former roof.
