Old Henllys

House in three units ranging east/west, the middle one a characteristic Gower hall farmhouse with large stairs outshut to the north side; later barn unit to west, small additional unit to east. The east unit has a small recent rear kitchen extension (to south). The middle unit and the small east unit are of two storeys. The stairs outshut attached centrally to the middle unit advances about 1m below a catslide roof. The rear kitchen extension has a flat roof higher than the eaves of the main range. Rough-cast rendered, with recently restored slate roof and small red-brick end-chimneys. At the front of the house (to north) the rough-cast render has been recently restored and extended to cover the front of the west unit also. Two small square upper windows of casement type; small 9-pane sash window to landing level in the outshut; small rectangular windows below, the left one a fixed light. Boarded door. The recent restoration of the rough-cast render has obscured the articulation of the three units, but the end of the middle unit at left still appears as a slight buttress to left of the main door. The rear elevation is of three windows, excluding the modern kitchen extension; two windows above are C19 four-pane casements. Middle window below is a 4-pane sash window. The barn unit to the west, on rising ground, is in rubble masonry still visible at rear and side. There are three large rear buttresses and a large chimney central in the west gable. Corrugated steel sheet roofing. Large central boarded doors at front, concealed behind steel sheeting.

Interior not inspected. The central hall unit is said to have a bed alcove in its south west corner; its main floor beam is said to have broach stops. Projecting stairs turret to north.
