Ton Farm Cottage

Ton Farm Cottage is a Grade II listed building that dates back to around 1600. Originally a small single-unit house, it was later expanded in the 17th century when two additional units were added, resulting in what is now known as Ton Farm. This property was part of the Merthyr Mawr Estate, which was purchased by Sir John Nicholl in 1804. Nicholl made significant alterations to the 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 building features a pair of two-storey houses with whitewashed rubble stone walls and a slate roof, along with stacks located to the left of center and at both ends. Ton Farm Cottage has skylights on the rear slope of the roof. To the left, Ton Farm has a boarded door on the right and three casement windows to its left, all of which have been renewed in earlier openings. One of the windows on the right of center was formerly a doorway. The upper storey of Ton Farm has two similar casements beneath the eaves. To the right of center is Ton Farm Cottage, which has two casements in the lower storey and a single casement in the upper storey. The unit to the right is a 19th-century addition, set back and featuring a half-lit door and a casement in the lower storey, both under segmental heads, with two similar casements above. The left gable end of Ton Farm displays 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 that match the main house. Behind and to the right of Ton Farm Cottage, there are recently added lean-tos.

Inside the rear wall, there is a blocked Tudor-headed doorway leading to the stair, which is housed in a projection that remains within a recently added lean-to. The stairway features stone treads, a small stair light, and a cross-slab roof. The roof of the house retains a central truss with curved-foot principals.
