Gellipistyll

Gellipistyll is a farmhouse that consists of two parts. The earlier section is made of whitewashed rubble and has a stone-tiled roof, while the slightly taller lower section is covered in whitewashed render with a slate roof and rendered end stacks, the right stack serving the earlier range. Both stacks are large and square with rebuilt narrower square shafts.

The earlier range features one small horizontal window with 8 panes, which has replaced a mullioned window, positioned under the eaves to the left and has a rough hoodmould. There is also a larger horizontal triple casement window to the left of centre, presumably replacing another mullioned window, and a casement pair window to the right. This section originally had a small chimney at the right end and includes one loft window in the right gable end. The rear has been altered, with part rendered and two added buttresses. The front door is to the left, accompanied by a casement window with a timber lintel and brick relieving arch, a central casement pair, and a small casement on the first floor to the right.

The added lower section is a near-square block with two storeys and an attic, featuring a one-window range with an attic centre gable and a central window on each floor. The attic has a casement pair with a dripstone, the first floor has a triple casement with a slate pentice supported by four oak beams, and the ground floor has a longer triple casement with a Tudor-arched door in an oak frame to the right, set in a square-headed surround with a timber lintel. A slate-roofed pentice extends across the right side on five short oak beams, which continues over an added porch with a door on the inner wall. The rear includes a whitewashed rubble lean-to with a central door and a window to the left on the first floor.

The interior is not available for inspection, but the earlier range is said to have upper crucks in the roof, a post-and-panel partition with Tudor-arched doorheads, and beams with stepped hollow stops. The diamond mullion windows noted in 1951 have been removed. There was a door in the lower end wall next to a blocked large fireplace, which had the stair on the other side. This door was also Tudor-arched but is now located within the cross-passage of the added 17th-century lower end. The addition is reported to have notched collars on the roof trusses.
