Description

Cil-voynog Farmhouse is a two-room central entrance farmhouse built in the 19th century, with an in-line barn attached to the right. The farmhouse is constructed of painted rubble stone and features a Welsh slate roof with several courses of stone slates, while the barn has a corrugated metal roof. There is a possibility that the higher stone courses were removed due to the weight, leaving only those above the walls, or that the roof was originally thatched, as suggested by the weathering on the chimney. The owner claims that the farmhouse was entirely stone and that the barn had a pantiled roof.

The main elevation of the farmhouse includes a central gabled porch, which was likely added in the early 20th century. On either side of the porch are windows, with taller ones on the ground floor featuring replacement frames with top opening lights, while above are 2-light timber casements. A gable stack is present on the left side, indicating that only the two left-hand rooms were heated.

To the right of the farmhouse is the barn, which has cart doors and flanking slit vents on the front. The rear elevation of the house was not observed, but it likely has an outshut.

The interior of the farmhouse was not seen during the resurvey but is said to be plain and includes a timber staircase. The barn consists of three bays with plain triangular trusses, one tier of purlins, and a ridgepiece.
