Description
Aberbaiden is a three-window, two-storey house with a projecting entrance bay offset to the left, accompanied by lower flanking wings and a rear staircase projection. The house is built of rubble stone with slate roofs, featuring end stacks—one of brick to the left and one of stone to the right. The front of the house faces south, away from the road. Openings are defined by segmental voussoir heads. A planked front door is located immediately to the left of centre, flanked by six-over-six-pane horned sash windows. The upper storey mirrors the ground floor with three six-over-six-pane horned sashes. A lower wing to the left has a multi-pane window on the ground floor and a blind window above. The lower wing to the right features a planked door and window, also with a blind window above.
The west gable end exhibits a late 20th-century six-pane window in the upper storey and a small, flat-roofed projection adjacent to the ground floor. The rear of the house faces the road, featuring a staircase projection with a catslide roof; a two-light multi-pane casement window illuminates the staircase. Two small skylights are present on the main roof pitch, and one is located on the right wing. A single-storey brick lean-to is attached to the right, with a two-light casement window and a doorway into the west side. A porch canopy is positioned adjacent to it, sheltering a doorway leading into the lower kitchen wing, with a wide three-light casement window to its right. A further single-storey lean-to, rendered, is located to the left of the staircase, incorporating a planked door and a two-light multi-pane casement. A blocked doorway is visible on the lower wing to the left. A stone staircase against the east gable end provided access to a former granary.
The interior comprises two similar reception rooms separated by a narrow partition. The entrance, located to the left of centre, opens directly into a hall featuring a large fireplace with a segmental head of voussoirs at the west end. A large bake oven with a segmental brick head is positioned to the left of the fireplace, at a slight angle. A doorway to the right leads to the kitchen. Originally, a rear door was situated next to the staircase, but it is now blocked. The staircase is accessed through a round-headed planked door. Each room contains a large cross beam, symmetrically placed. The hall has moulded joists, while the parlour features a plastered ceiling. In the parlour's east wall is a 20th-century fireplace and a doorway next to the partition, which originally led to a cellar.
