Swimbridge Farmhouse with attached garden walls

Swimbridge Farmhouse, dating from the 17th century, features probably local rubblestone walls with roughcast cladding and a Welsh slate gabled roof, complemented by rendered stone flanking stacks. This two-storey farmhouse has a single-depth plan, with a lower two-storey wing to the left and a single-storey wing to the right, both aligned with the main structure. The upper and ground floor openings do not align. On the ground floor, there are two sash windows, each two panes wide with horns, and a late 20th-century doorway with a trellis porch to the right. The first floor has three 2-light wood casements. The farmhouse also includes 17th-century type plank doors.

The lower south-west service wing features a 2-light window with small panes to the left, a similar loft window in the middle, and a wooden boarded door to the right. An adjoining north-east outbuilding has a gabled slate roof and whitewashed stone rubble walls, with late 20th-century windows. The rear elevation includes a two-storey wing with similar windows.

The garden to the south-east of the house is enclosed by stone rubble walls on the south-east and south-west sides. The south-east wall has roughly rounded stone coping and serves as a north retaining wall along the Ogney Brook. The south-west garden wall features various stone copings and includes a 19th-century iron gate towards the northern end, with circular uprights and arrowheaded finials rising alternately above the top and middle rails. From the north-west of the gate, the wall returns to the service wing.

Inside, the south-west room has three stopped and chamfered beams, and an arched, stopped and chamfered doorway leads to a stone fireplace stair with a corbelled roof. The fireplace, revealed since the listing in 1982, has chamfered stone jambs with differing stops and an oak lintel. A rare feature of the house is a stone wall that divides the hall and the inner room, extending through both floors. The main door now enters the inner room, and the south-west extension retains a bread oven with an iron door.
