Description

Blaenogwr Farmhouse is a three-storey building constructed of rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. Each floor is slightly inset above a weathering course at each level. The main facade, which faces southeast, features a central narrow bay flanked by wider bays on either side. In the center bay, there is a 20th-century door with an overlight, set within a voussoired flat arch that has a keystone and a simple rustic stone pediment above it. The windows on either side have similar flat stone arched openings and stone sills, although the timber windows on the ground and first floors have been replaced in the 20th century. The top floor windows are shorter, consisting of 6-pane sashes positioned directly beneath the stone dentilled eaves. A projecting stone drip course creates rough pediments at the ends, with the lower string supported by stone brackets around the part-external stacks, and oval brick-lined oculi on either side within the pediments. The projecting central bay is narrower at the rear, and there is a single-storey outbuilding on the left (west) side, along with a parallel ridged outbuilding on the right, which together form a small walled yard.
