Llwyn-celen Farmhouse

Llwyn-celen Farmhouse is a sturdy, two-storey farmhouse constructed of rubble, situated at a right angle to a slope descending from south to north. The farmhouse incorporates a large, two-and-a-half-storey porch and has two main structural bays facing west. A lean-to outhouse is attached to the north gable. The exterior has been whitewashed, with repainting in progress on the porch at the time of survey. The roof is covered with Welsh slate, featuring a red brick chimney along the ridge, in line with the porch, and a smaller stone chimney at the south gable.

The porch has a noticeable batter to the right-hand front corner, a wide, segmental-headed doorway offset to the left, protected by an arched stone lintel with a raised keystone, and a recessed, part-glazed door with side lights. A large, rectangular window, likely from the 19th century, is present at first-floor level, and a smaller window at attic level. To the left of the porch, the main range has one rectangular window on each floor. To the right, there are two similar windows on each floor. All these windows have straight stone sills and lintels, red-brick jambs, and recently installed, four-pane, double-glazed, top-hung casements. The lean-to outhouse at the north end, which sits at a lower level than the main range, has a doorway near the front end of its north wall, and a substantial rectangular chimney stack at its northeast corner, topped with an elaborate cornice. A modern, almost full-height lean-to kitchen covers the rear south half of the main range. A back doorway is positioned in line with the front porch.

Inside, a cross passage aligns with the porch doorway and runs behind a substantial wall that incorporates the main chimney stack. The room to the south of this passage contains three massive, chamfered lateral beams. A partition wall separates this room from the room at the south end; this wall appears to be relatively thin and likely constructed of wooden panels, although it is currently covered with wallpaper. The owner reported that the main staircase is located in the angle to the front of the chimney stack. A dairy, at a lower level, is situated north of the cross passage, and the owner indicated that rooms at that end also feature beams similar to those in the main room.
