Description
Abernodwydd Farmhouse is a timber-framed farmhouse built on stone cills. The external walls consist of timber-framed rectangular panels arranged in a 12 x 6 x 3 configuration, creating six cubes. These panels are filled with hazel wattle, which has been daubed with clay and covered with plaster. The farmhouse features a renewed hipped roof made of wheaten straw supported by rafters and hazel rods. It has a baffle entry and a single depth plan.
The windows are unglazed openings with wooden mullions and internal shutters, located in panels 2, 7, and 11 from the left, with both two and three panels up. The rear elevation has windows only in panel 5. Inside, there is a stone smoke-hood fireplace on the ground floor with a stone chimney above, flanked by post-and-panel partitions. A ladder leads to the loft located to the north-west of the fireplace. There is also a post-and-panel partition and two doorways connecting the kitchen or middle room to the dairy and bed-chamber at the north-east end. The floors are made of beaten earth.
