Description

Maes-y-garn Farmhouse is a late Georgian style building that stands two storeys tall, with a hipped slate roof and rendered stone dressings. The dressings include all windows, pilaster strips at all corners, and a chamfered plinth. The symmetrical front features three sashed windows, a pair of stone chimneys with ogee cornices, and a single-storey sashed bay window on the return elevations at both ends. The front doors are a pair with moulded panels below marginal glazing, framed by a pulvinated-panel architrave and topped with a panelled wooden cantilevered hood. One window at the rear of the front has been recently reduced in size.

The rear wing has three round-headed lancets on the east side at ground level, while the west side features triple casements. There is also a modern plate-glass door and window on the east side, with triple-light casements under cambered arches above. The original chimney remains on the north gable-end, and some render has been partially removed from the rear.

Inside, the front rooms have four or six-panelled doors, Grecian ovolo mouldings, classical cornices, and wooden chimneypieces with gothic or Old English details. The staircase features turned pine newels. The kitchen at the rear is open-plan with exposed ceiling beams. On the first floor, the front rooms have panelled doors, while the rear rooms have plank doors.
