Gatehouse at Llanfythin Farmhouse

Dated 1636, 2-storey gatehouse of lime-washed rubble elevations with pitched-slated roof. Flight of stone steps on E side rising to large opening with recess doorway with heavy complex ovolo-moulded doorframe with fleur-de-lis stops. The lintel above the doorway is carved with "T.T.1636 BB" presumably referring to Thomas Bassett. Exposed oak joists and wide oak boards above. First-floor access via external stone stair on SW corner rising to boarded door. Single chamber, un-ceiled with later ovolo-moulded 3-light mullion window to front and rear face with exposed timber lintels. Large open fireplace on north face with projecting oak bressumer carried on stone corbels. Exposed original roof structure has principals without corners and two trenched purlins.
