Description
Llwydarth farmhouse is a Grade II* listed building constructed from rubble stone and limewashed, featuring a slate roof with local sandstone peg slates on the porch. The farmhouse has two bays and a low gabled porch with an open outer door and a timber lintel. It includes 19th-century two-light paned casement timber windows, alongside one small 17th-century oak window at the rear. There are large central and left gable stacks, as well as later lean-to extensions at the rear that connect to a 17th-century bakehouse at the northeast corner, with an additional extension at right angles built around 1980.
Inside, the porch leads to a cross passage located behind the main axial stack. To the left is the kitchen, which features a large gable stack, while to the right is the hall, consisting of three ceiling bays. The staircase, originally positioned behind the stack, is now located in the passage. Evidence of a former post and panel partition that separated the kitchen from the passage is visible as a groove in the ceiling beam. The kitchen stack includes a side oven. The hall's fireplace has chamfered ashlar jambs that have been damaged by later modifications, with heart-shaped chamfer stops. The ceiling beams and cross joists are also chamfered, featuring broach stops. The rear door has moulded double-hollow chamfer stone jambs with decorative stops. The roof structure includes two visible trusses with curved footed principals linked by a collar, supporting three tiers of purlins. The later extensions at the rear connect with the 17th-century external bakehouse, which contains a bread oven—possibly a later addition—and has altered openings. Detached stones found on the site suggest that the original sandstone windows were up to three bays wide, arch-headed with hollow chamfered mullions, and featured a close-set label with square dropped terminals.
