Cefnmaen

Cefnmaen is a farmhouse that features painted roughcast walls, slate roofs, and brick stacks at the east end and along the ridge, with the west end stack missing. The building has two storeys and a four-window range of renewed windows. To the left of the ridge stack is a two-window range that represents the earliest part of the structure, while to the right, there is a closer spaced two-window range belonging to the 17th century section, which includes a 20th-century gabled porch on the left. The windows consist of pairs, triples, and a four-light arrangement below, with a pair of casement windows above.

A 20th-century lower addition on the west end has two storeys and a one-window range. The rear of the main range features a single chamfered oak stair light on the first floor to the left, a three-light ovolo-moulded mullion window in the centre, and a four-light diamond mullion window to the right. The ground floor is obscured by a 20th-century slate-roofed lean-to, but inside, it contains a small oak diamond mullion window to the left, along with a triple casement and a pair of casement windows that have replaced the original oak mullion windows shown in earlier documentation. The 20th-century addition to the right includes a five-light oak window above a lean-to. The 17th-century section to the left has a rear wing that may date from the 19th century and has been altered in the 20th century.

From the rear lean-to, entry leads into a plain room at the east end. A massive Tudor-arched oak doorway set in a chamfered frame in the end wall of the original house opens into the former hall to the right of the east fireplace. This fireplace features a chamfered lintel, and to the left, there is a Tudor-arched door leading to oak winding stairs. The interior displays three beams with barred stops to their chamfers, while a fourth beam formerly had a post-and-panel partition, and a fifth beam was added over the west end fireplace. The exposed oak joists have diagonal stops. On the first floor to the east, there are two doors, including a chamfered flat-headed oak frame leading to the stairs from below and a Tudor-arched door to the left leading to the attic stairs. Each stair has a tiny diamond-mullion light. The east room has plain square beams, and there is a fine post-and-panel screen with chamfered posts and a shaped door head between the rooms, along with a west room featuring chamfered beams with stepped hollow stops. The roof is supported by three heavy trusses without collars, one of which serves as a partition, along with heavy purlins.
