Description
Splott Farmhouse, which includes an attached granary wing, is built from local rubble stone that has been rendered and painted, topped with Welsh slate roofs and featuring three rendered stacks. On the ground floor, there are three sash windows, each three panes wide, with two located to the left of the center and one to the right. A later addition is a central brick porch that contains a six-panel door in the rear wall. The first floor also has three sash windows, each three panes wide. All the windows and the porch door have been replaced with plastic double-glazed units. The building has a steeply pitched roof with stacks positioned on either gable and in the cross-passage area. To the right gable, there is a single-storey lean-to from the 19th century.
Adjoining to the west (left-hand) is the former granary and dairy, which share a common roofline with the farmhouse. The south elevation of the former dairy wing features three small two-light windows on the first floor, while the ground floor has a three-light window on the right and a modern door on the left. These windows are likely from the early 20th century. The former granary in the same range has two steps leading up to a granary loft door on the right, a small boarded opening on the left, and a ledged door on the ground floor. The gable end of this section is blind.
At the rear, there is a two-storey 19th-century outshut added to the house part. Additionally, there is a 19th-century lean-to and a 20th-century porch added to the dairy, along with three plain openings on the ground floor of the former granary.
The interior was not available for resurvey, but a previous description noted two exposed ceiling beams and a 19th-century grate in the west room, as well as a fireplace from probably the 18th century with stone voussoirs in the east room.
