Description

Yr Hen Fferm Dy is a two-storey farmhouse constructed from local rubble stone, which is rendered and painted, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building has a long, single-depth range with an additional wing set down the slope to the right and a rear service wing. The front features four bays, with an extra bay added on the right. In the main section, there is a roughly central doorway flanked by a 19th-century exposed stone Gothic porch and a 19th-century panelled door. The front to the right of the porch is slightly set forward. On the ground floor, to the left of the porch, there is a square window and a single-storey bay window, with a similar bay window on the right of the porch. These bays have 3 + 12 + 3 panes and lean-to roofs, likely dating from the early 20th century. On the first floor, there are four roughly square windows, generally featuring 19th-century timber casement glazing. The roof has rectangular end chimneys that appear to be made of 19th-century brick.

To the right, there is a lower two-storey block with a chimney on the gable end, featuring a single square window on each floor and a larger ground floor window on the left. The rear includes a two-storey crosswing attached to the main section of the house, which has no stack and a single window on each floor on either side. There are two altered windows on each floor of the main range and a roof-light. An outshut is located at the rear behind the right-hand section of the house.

One of the farm outbuildings is believed to have a small relief carving of a human face by the notable antiquarian Iolo Morganwg, who died in 1826.

The interior of the farmhouse has been completely remodelled in the late 20th century, with no historic features visible except for some principal rafters from the 18th century, which have staggered purlins.
