Description
This seems likely to be a rectangular single depth C17 farmhouse of probably one and a half storeys which was heightened and greatly extended, probably in c1800. There have been further considerable internal renovations and alterations in the C20 and much of the evidence of the building's origins has been disguised. The barn is probably late C17 and the house is likely to be at least as old as that.
The house is wholly rendered and painted, probably over local sandstone rubble and has Welsh slate roofs. It consists of a main rectangular single depth block with a central rear projection between additional gabled ranges, making it double depth throughout. The centre is then extended into a gabled rear wing running away from the main block and this is attached to the converted barn, now a studio. There is a gabled entrance porch in the rear and a modern conservatory in the angle between the gables of the main block and the barn.
The south elevation has been given a balanced five bay Georgian appearance with a central doorway with a hood on brackets, part glazed door. The windows are mainly six over six pane sashes with horns. The steeply pitched roof reveals the C17 origins of the block, with an old stack on the left hand gable, a larger one in the cross passage position, and one built external to the gable on the right.
The interior was much modified in the early C19 and later. The entrance goes into a hall with an altered staircase and the hall contains a fireplace. This is probably an adaption of the central room in an original C17 three unit plan. The minor room to the right has early C19 joinery and plasterwork with a large elliptically headed alcove on the rear wall showing that this was the dining room with buffet alcove. There are shutters with fielded panels but the fireplaces are altered as are the other rooms and the kitchen in the rear wing which has roughly chamfered ceiling beams.

It was listed as a C17 Monmouthshire farmhouse with interesting alterations and additions of c1800.
