Cilfeigan Farmhouse

The house is wholly rendered, probably over local limestone rubble, Welsh slate roofs. L-shaped plan with both sections a full three storeys with a single storey added kitchen wing and a lean-to over the rear entrance. The front elevation has smooth render blocked out as ashlar with rusticated quoins and modillion cornice. The facade is almost symmetrical but the wider gap for the right hand window is a significant indicator of age. Three bay front with central entrance; this has a gabled porch with ogee headed stone surround and scalloped bargeboards. The porch is early Victorian as is the plank door which is in the original chamfered 4-centred frame. The entrance is flanked by 3-light mullion-and-transom windows and there are three 2-light ones on each of the upper floors. All these windows are Victorian. Fairly low pitch roof with gable stacks, each with three flues with decorative Victorian terracotta pots. The left gable has two C16 stairwindows with moulded frames with 4-centred heads and diamond lattice glazing. The wall is otherwise blind but the rear wing has a late C20 steel 3-light casement in the ground floor, this was a new opening. The right gable end has one small stair window with 2 x 2 panes, which is probably C17. The rear wall of the front range has a plain window in the first and second floors. The rear door is inside the lean-to. The rear wing is hidden by the lean-to on the ground floor and has a 6 + 6 pane casement on the first floor and a late C20 top opening light window on the top floor. The single storey Victorian wing is plain with a gabled roof and a large brick stack.

The interior of the main range has a cross-passage and a large, high-ceilinged room on either side. Both of these rooms have firestairs in the rear corner. The north one is partly stone, the south one is timber and has been rebuilt on the upper floor. There are indications of a possible 'great room' on the first floor. The roof is basic principal rafter trusses with staggered purlins and no ridge piece, clearly constructed to have plaster ceilings in the second floor rooms. The secondary rafters and sarking are Victorian.
