Ton Farm

Ton Farm and Ton Farm Cottage are two adjoining houses originally part of a small single-unit house built around 1600, which is now known as Ton Farm Cottage. In the 17th century, two additional units were added, creating what is now Ton Farm. This property was part of the Merthyr Mawr Estate, purchased in 1804 by Sir John Nicholl, who enlarged many houses in the village, often converting them into multiple dwellings. At Ton Farm, which was referred to as Warren Farm in the 19th century, a further wing was added, and in the 20th century, the house was divided into two separate dwellings.

The buildings are constructed from whitewashed rubble stone and feature slate roofs with stacks located left of center and at both ends. Ton Farm Cottage has skylights on the rear slope. Ton Farm, located to the left, has a boarded door to the right and three casement windows to the left, all of which have been renewed in earlier openings. The window to the right of center used to be a doorway. The upper storey has two similar casements beneath the eaves. To the right of center is Ton Farm Cottage, which has two casements on the lower storey and one casement on the upper storey. The unit to the right is a 19th-century addition that is set back, featuring a half-lit door and a casement in the lower storey under segmental heads, with two similar casements above. The left gable end of Ton Farm shows stub walls from a former attached building, possibly a beast house. At the rear, there is a shallow stair projection and a lower two-storey gabled projection added in the late 19th century, with windows similar to those of the main house. Behind and to the right of Ton Farm Cottage are recently added lean-tos.

Inside, the lower storey is now a single room with three stop-chamfered cross beams. The fireplace features a stop-chamfered lintel, along with an added boiler and bread oven. To the right of the fireplace is a turning stone stair, which has timber corbelling above it. The original gable-end doorway from the earlier house is still present, though blocked, in Ton Farm and has a Tudor head with a stop-chamfer surround.
