Description
Allt-y-fanog is a farmhouse constructed of rubble stone, with remnants of whitewash, a slate close-eaved roof, and rendered end stacks, although the uphill stack is largely collapsed. The building is situated on a steep slope and has a vernacular character, featuring an irregular front elevation of two storeys. It has a broad three-window range on the upper floor, with sashes that include a hornless 12-pane window to the left, a horned 4-pane window in the centre, and a former hornless 16-pane window to the right, which has fallen since the listing along with much of the wall face.
The ground floor has an off-centre entrance porch flanked by windows that have remnants of dripmoulds, with 6-pane casement glazing noted in 1992. The gabled rubble porch has a slate roof and a cambered arched entry, with the arch cut from a timber lintel and a boarded door within. The left end wall is windowless.
At the rear, there is a single-storey added outbuilding to the right with an end stack, followed by a shallow projection in the centre that has a slate roof and contains two staircases. To the left, there is a deep recess that framed a ground floor window with a loft door above, divided by a single lintel, which was partially collapsed in 2003. The uphill gable end has also partially collapsed, including much of the chimney.
The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey. When it was listed in 1992, there was a stone flagged hall with beams featuring hollow stops with fillet to chamfers and an altered main fireplace. The outer room was formerly divided by a screen, as indicated by a slot in the ceiling beam. The window recesses were deep and splayed, especially in the outer room, with the wall cut back to the hall, reducing the wall thickness. Some 19th-century boarded doors were present. The two staircases had cross slab roofs and turned in the same direction within the single rear projection, although the left staircase was blocked.
