Description
Capel-llwyd is a farmhouse constructed from rubble stone, featuring a slate eaves roof and three chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has a double-fronted original range, with a 19th-century one-window range added to the right. The chimneys are positioned at the ends of the original section and at the end of the added section. There is a much altered outbuilding at the left corner.
The original house includes two 20th-century long casement pairs set in 19th-century openings on the first floor. The 19th-century addition to the right has one similar window on each floor, with stone voussoirs above the lower window and stone sills throughout. A 20th-century half-glazed door is located to the left of the addition, adjacent to the original corner. The original house features a 17th-century three-light oak ovolo-mullioned window on the left, a 20th-century door to the left of centre, and a broad four-light 20th-century window on the right, with both the door and left window situated within a late 20th-century conservatory.
The rebuilt outbuilding at the left corner has a long slate roof that connects at the right top to the left bottom of the main roof. It includes one 20th-century window on the front left. The end gable is rebated, and the stonework appears to be entirely from the 20th century, with a 20th-century ground floor window in each section. The left end of the original house is rendered and features a small stair light with a slab dripstone. The rear of the building has an outshut to the right, while the left side has a 20th-century eaves-breaking dormer and a 20th-century window on each floor to the left. The rear of the 19th-century addition is rendered, with a 20th-century window in the top right and bottom left.
The original house has a two-room plan. It includes a post and panel partition with ogee-headed doors at each end; the left door is blocked, while the right door features a bead-moulded plank door. Inside, there are heavy beams, with one beam over the fireplace showcasing scroll stops, and a plank door to the left leading to a disused winding stone stair. The joists have ogee stops, and there is a large second beam with ogee stops, while a third beam spans the partition. The kitchen contains two cruder oak beams and renewed pine beams.
