Llwynau

Llwynau is a house and barn, now combined into a single dwelling, likely dating to the 18th century. The building is constructed of rubble stone, originally limewashed pink and formerly partly pebble-dashed. It has a slate roof with end brick chimneys, each featuring two rebuilt stone diagonal shafts.

The front of the house has renewed timber mullion windows with leaded glazing and iron opening lights, set within oak frames, all with timber lintels and thin stone hoodmolds. On the first floor are three windows arranged left to centre; the ground floor features a three-light window to the left, and a two-light window to the centre and right of centre. A small, chamfered loop window is situated at mid height on the extreme right, providing light to the stairwell. An opening, with 20th-century glazing, is visible at the right-hand gable, where the house ends and a former barn opening is evident, protected by a slate pent roof supported by oak brackets. A 20th-century three-light window with a hoodmould has been inserted to the right.

The left-hand gable end of the house has an external chimneybreast, with a single window on each floor to the left of the stack. Two-light windows are present in the attic and first floor, while a three-light window is situated below. These are 20th-century replacements for originals illustrated in Fox & Raglan.

A southwest-facing rear wing has a French window and hoodmould, as well as a 20th-century two-light window and a door on the north side. The rear wall of the house incorporates a 20th-century three-light mullion window above an original four-light timber mullion window with an ovolo moulding. A lean-to addition is situated to the left, which includes a two-light window and door at its south end. To the left of the ridge chimney, in the south end, is the original entry point with a broad, oak-framed door. A stone shelf extends above the door, reaching some way to the left, followed by a French window in the position of the former door. The two first-floor four-light and three-light mullion windows on this rear elevation are late 20th-century insertions.

The house originally comprised two rooms, with a cross-passage and a third room to the north, formerly part of the barn. A fireplace is located at the south end, featuring a timber lintel. Internal features include heavy, chamfered beams and joists. A post-and-panel partition exists, supported by six chamfered posts. A spiral staircase is positioned at the north end, and entries from the barn flank the fireplace, both featuring stone jambs and timber lintels. An oak, chamfered door frame serves the door to the barn, while an oak frame surrounds the barn's rear door. The barn’s roof is supported by late 20th-century tie-beam and collar trusses constructed from Irish oak. The house’s first-floor fireplace is a large stone structure with a deep slab lintel and jambs displaying chamfer stops. Four beams are also present, with stepped stops to their chamfers. A spiral staircase rises to the attic, featuring stone treads on an oak base. The roof has three fine collar trusses with double purlins, some of which have been replaced, with one collar missing.
