Description

Maendy is a large farmhouse built of limewashed stone rubble with boulder footings, featuring a slightly battered appearance. It has a Welsh slate roof with end and centre ridge stacks that have narrow cornices and weathercoursing. The layout includes a two-storey south porch with a lobby entry. The door opens to a passage beside the fireplace wall, which separates the hall to the east from the kitchen to the west. There is a single-storey dairy attached to the northeast, adjacent to the stairs located to the right of the fireplace.

The gabled porch has a rectangular two-light sunk-chamfered window on the first floor, complete with a hoodmould and a hollow chamfered mullion, and iron-framed casements. Below, the plain doorway features a shallow dripstone. The porch's sides are strongly battered, and there is a cobbled approach to the front. To the left of the porch, there is a two-light window on the ground floor, while to the right, there is a range of three small two-light casement windows with sills on the first floor, alongside two larger cambered-headed casements on the ground floor. The rear elevation is stepped, with a catslide roof over the service wing to the left, which has a small light at the back and another with a hood on the return. The staircase wing has a small rectangular light at the centre, and there is a rear doorway under a timber lintel to the right, along with an added single-storey wing with a different roof pitch at the end.

Inside the porch, there is a flag floor, stone seats, and a coffered ceiling made of plaster panels between chamfered and stopped beams. The doorway features a four-centred arch with a roughly heart-shaped keystone. The former kitchen includes a large open fireplace with a substantial bressummer that incorporates bread ovens, along with closely set broad chamfered reeded beams with filleted stops. The hall has a large fireplace with the date 1607 carved on the bressummer, and there are arched doorways leading to the stone stairs with a cross slab roof beside the fireplace and north to the former dairy, which retains slabs and a stone floor. The broad chamfered beams have filleted stops and square joists. The roof trusses are not visible but are reported to still be in place, featuring curved foot principals, collars, and three rows of trenched purlins.
