Description
Waun Farmhouse, a former farmhouse, is built from mixed random rubble with some traces of whitewash and has a roof made of stone slates that have been patched and partly replaced with red pantiles. The building was originally designed in a T-shape, featuring a hall-range aligned on a north-south axis and a two-bay solar wing at the northern end, which is now the main surviving part. This solar wing is one and a half storeys high and has a two-bay north-facing front wall that shows a noticeable batter, ending with a vertical joint where it meets each gable wall. This suggests that there was a previous phase where timber-framed long walls were enclosed between stone gable walls.
The fenestration on the solar wing is symmetrical, featuring two widely spaced three-light windows on the ground floor, each with slate hoodmoulds, and three-light gabled half-dormers directly above them. All of these windows have ovolo-moulded wooden mullions, though they have been variously altered or damaged. The left ground floor window has the first light blocked and partly plastered over, while the dormer above is boarded internally. Additionally, the gables of both dormers lack cladding, revealing three studs in each.
On the east gable wall, there is one window on each floor, similar to the ground floor windows on the front. The west gable wall features a 17th-century stair-turret to the right of the chimney stack, which has a small three-light window beneath a slate hoodmould.
The hall-range has been altered and is heavily overgrown. A notable feature is a 17th-century doorway on the east side, which has a square-headed and elaborately moulded wooden architrave. Inside the solar block, there are two ground floor rooms separated by a post and panel partition, with each room having a doorway leading to the former hall. The rooms contain stop-chamfered beams and joists, with part of the ceiling in place. There is a fireplace with a chamfered lintel in the western room, and framed wooden stairs to the left of this. The original roof timbers are exposed on the first floor, while the former hall has been subdivided, and much of the woodwork has been rebuilt.
