Description
Batslays Farmhouse is a two-storey building with random limestone rubble walls, painted on the rear elevation, and a Welsh slate gabled roof that was originally thatched before the early 20th century. The house has a single depth with an added outshut and a rear wing.
On the south (garden) elevation, there is a modern factory unit window on the ground floor with a flat head and stone voussoirs, and the jambs appear to be original. Above, on the first floor, there is a 2-light modern casement window, again with unaltered jambs. To the left, a straight joint indicates an addition, followed by a gabled stone porch with a modern door, which retains original stopped and chamfered jambs. There is an original chamfered and mullioned 2-light casement window on the first floor, alongside a second modern 2-light casement window set slightly to the right. Below this, a modern factory unit has been fitted into an altered opening for the hall window. Additionally, there is another 2-light chamfered stone mullioned window on the first floor. All the windows are factory units dating from the 1990s.
The north-east gable end features an original chamfered stone mullion window with a dripstone at the attic storey. The rear elevation includes a kitchen outshut with a catslide roof, featuring one 2 over 2 pane 19th-century sash window in the kitchen and another above, while the rear wall is otherwise blind. Attached to the north-east end is a rear wing, which is two storeys tall and has 20th-century windows.
The interior details were not available during the resurvey, but the existing list description notes that the southwest ground floor has a plastered ceiling, while the northeast room features four stopped and chamfered ceiling beams. There is a large southwest fireplace with chamfered stone jambs and a replacement bressumer made of old wood, along with blocked fireplace stairs and a doorway. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales confirms an original baffle-entry plan with a hall and an unheated inner room. A mural stair is located to the right of the fireplace, and the beams have hollow-and-fillet stops, with an additional room to the left.
