The Cwm

House, painted roughcast with some exposed rubble stone and concrete tiles to roofs. Two storeys, T-plan. Original C16 block is left (east) end of cross-stroke, a single-room unit with undercroft and small brick W end stack. A slightly lower range continues this range to W and a longer rear wing runs N with rebuilt brick end stack. Old photograph shows exposed rubble stone to all visible elevations, now only E gable and N wall of original E block and W gable of W block are exposed. Original block has fine 4-light recessed hollow-moulded stone mullion window with Tudor-arched heads and counter-sunk spandrels, on first floor of N side. Similar 2-light with missing mullion to ground floor right of E gable end, first floor triple casement, and relieving arches over both, lower has stone hoodmould. Attic single light with eroded square frame, shown blocked in c1950 photograph. S front rewindowed in C19 or earlier C20, original block has 6-pane sash above, ground floor door and C20 lavatory window. Addition to left has lower roof, 4-pane and 12-pane upper sashes, ground floor 3 4-pane sashes. Windowless W gable end. Rear N wall has 4-pane horned sash each floor. Rear N wing has W front with long 4-pane stair light in angle to right, then 4-pane sash (former door) to centre and broad 6-pane sash to left, with 4-pane sash above under eaves. N end has 2 small loft lights. E elevation has ground floor painted brick lean-to addition. First floor has 3 C20 windows, there was only one at extreme left in c1950 photograph.

Within lean-to a relieving arch on back N wall of original block. This has massive walls to ground floor undercroft with heavy beams and square joists. One beam has stepped run-out stop to chamfer. First floor has 4 beams, 3 ovolo-moulded beams with barred stepped hollow stops, third over partition, fourth encased. Remainder of some simple scribed moulding around N window. E wall has fine blocked Tudor-arched doorway, presumably once reached by external stairs. W wall now in bathroom, has partly exposed massive stone fireplace lintel. W range seems to have been added in late C17 or early C18, beam with stepped hollow moulded stop over W fireplace, one C18 fielded panelled door to ground floor, two cupboards on W wall with fielded panelled doors. N range has 2 chamfered beams each floor with thin chamfer, probably C18.
