Description
Croeswen Farmhouse is a 17th-century house constructed from large local rubblestone, which is entirely limewashed, and features Welsh slate roofs. This small 'Regional'-style house has one and a half storeys and consists of two rooms, with the original entrance leading into the 'inner' room.
The entrance front, facing south, includes a casement window beneath the right-hand half dormer and a one-storey brick pentice extension below the other dormer. A prominent early pentice porch houses the original large ledged door, which is set under a stone 'Tudor' head. There is also an additional door on the right that leads directly into the hall; both doors are 19th-century plank doors, with the main door being narrower than the chamfered 4-centred opening. The dormers feature 6-pane windows with gabled heads. The main stack on the right gable has been rebuilt in brick, and there is a tall brick stack for the kitchen extension on the left.
On the rear elevation, there are two small 19th-century windows on the ground floor, one being a 2 x 2 casement and the other a 2-light window. Additionally, there are two 20th-century 3-light dormers at the wall head.
During the resurvey, only the main living room was observed. Inside, a post-and-panel partition extends from between the doors. A wooden spiral staircase is located next to the chimney, leading up to a three-panel door with a 'Tudor' head. The beams feature keeled stops and are deeply chamfered, while the fireplace has been altered.
