Pant y Ddraenan

Pant y Ddraenan is a three-window, two-storey house with a rear wing, constructed of rubble stone with renewed slate roofs and stone end stacks, the western stack projecting. The entrance faces south, positioned to the left of centre, and is sheltered by a gabled porch with a wide opening and part of a dripstone. This leads to a late 20th-century planked door with flat head. On either side of the porch are 6-over-6-pane horned sash windows with stone sills and lintels. The upper storey windows, set immediately under the eaves, are 3-over-3-pane horned sashes also with stone sills.

To the rear, the house features an outshut to the left and a long rear wing to the right. The outshut has a half-glazed door to the right and a window to the left, both with 20th-century glazing. The east side of the outshut contains a square recess. The rear wing was originally a hay barn with a loft. Its east side has a narrow window with a substantial timber lintel and horizontal slats. The rear gable end has a doorway to the left with timber lintel and dripstone, and to its right is a loft doorway under a dripstone, now infilled with blockwork. The west side of the rear wing has a window with a voussoir head and a skylight set into the roof pitch.

Adjoining the east side of the house is a long farm range with some alterations, constructed of rubble stone mostly under corrugated metal roofs with rooflights, though some stone tiles remain towards the east. The front elevation has a small window with 20th-century glazing at the far left, then two planked doors followed by two blocked doorways converted to windows, which likely represented a stable to the left and cow house to the right. Ventilation slits appear between and above these openings. Further right is a barn with a lower roof pitch. This has a central entrance with a segmental head of narrow voussoirs, flanked by ventilation slits, with infill above the doorway suggesting it was originally larger. The rear roof is covered with corrugated iron and rooflights. To its left is a wider entrance with a similar segmental head, possibly a cart bay. In front to the right is a small rendered lean-to with a casement window. The rear of the cow house and stable has a roughly central doorway with a loft opening to its right and a loft doorway at the far left.

The interior of the house has a central stair hall with flanking rooms. The living room to the right contains five cross beams, the first, second and fifth of which are large with chamfers and filleted cut stops, probably retained from a sub-medieval house. The other two are later additions, thin and square-sectioned. A large stone fireplace with a segmental head of narrow voussoirs occupies the east wall, with a bake oven to its right, similarly headed. A straight staircase to the rear of the hall has tongue and groove partitions to its upper part. The room to the left has no visible beams and a small late 20th-century fireplace. The kitchen and bathroom occupy rear lean-tos, formerly used as dairy and service areas.

The barn at the east end of the farm range is five-bay with chamfered tie beams, the trusses pegged at the apex. The lofts are missing. A doorway has been cut through to the former cow house with a smaller opening to the left at loft level. The cow house has replaced trusses and is now open, used for storage.
