Description
Twmp Farmhouse is a two-storey farmhouse constructed of painted rubble stone, topped with concrete pantiles. The building consists of two sections, with the older part on the left featuring a 20th-century small brick stack at the left end. On the first floor, there is a 20th-century window in the center, flanked by spur crucks projecting to the left and right. This window is positioned further left than depicted in Fox & Raglan. The ground floor has a 20th-century three-light window with a cambered head in the center, and to the right, there is a lean-to porch, originally open-fronted but now enclosed with a door and sidelights, also covered with concrete tiles.
To the right is a lower wing that includes a 20th-century three-light window on the left above another 20th-century window, with a 20th-century lean-to on the right that has a door. Attached to the left end of the farmhouse is a lower outbuilding with a slate roof and a whitewashed rubble front, featuring a central door and a window on each side. Various timber lintels indicate that the openings have been altered. There is a tall lean-to at the end of the outbuilding, with a roof that is higher than the end gable of the outbuilding, sloping against the rubble wall.
The garden front displays 20th-century casement windows under the eaves in the center and to the left, with cruck spurs visible to the right of the center window and to the left. There is a tiny stair light at the extreme right, positioned at mid-height. The ground floor features a pair of 20th-century casement windows in the center and two more 20th-century windows to the left. The lower range to the left has a side wall rebuilt with a brick stack, a 20th-century window at the extreme right, and two pairs of casement windows to the left, one of which has a cambered head.
Inside the older part of the house, there is a chamfered post-and-panel partition with six posts and Tudor arched doors at each end. The original Tudor head of one door was noted as existing but was removed in 1980. The beams are chamfered with stepped run-out stops, and there is a cyclopean single stone hearth lintel, approximately 3 feet 6 inches (1.06 meters) high, with chamfered jambs. A spiral stone stair is located to the right. The two upper cruck trusses are spaced 7 feet 5 inches (2.26 meters) apart, rising 3 feet 6 inches (1.06 meters) vertically to a rounded angle, with visible spur ties. The collars are positioned 7 feet 9 inches (2.36 meters) above the floor in a room that measures 19 feet 4 inches (5.89 meters) wide. The added part of the house includes a heavy beam in the kitchen.
