Location Fron Newydd lies on the N sider of the minor road from Llanegryn to Tonfanau, on the N side of the Dysynni estuary. The farmyard lies in front and below the old farmhouse
Exterior The house is built on a raised platform on ground rising to the west, and falling sharply in front, with the farmyard below. It is built of local stone rubble with flushed joints on a rough boulder plinth, and has a slate roof between gable stacks, that at the W end larger. Two storeys, 3 window bays with a central boarded door in a moulded frame, and small 4-pane windows, but a 12-pane sash window to the left of the door. Over the door, a slate plaque reading 'Repared by / RE'V JO'N NANEY / 1820'. The house was enlarged c1920 by a single storey wing in line and set forward of the right end of the house. This has a door in front, and facing the front of the house, and a gable end stack. There is a single storey extension to the left of the house. The lower walls constructed of local stone rubble, but unusually for the area the top section constructed in clom. This appears to be later than the farmhouse as the clom butt joins the walls. The extension houses a brick built fire and adjacent boiler.

Farm building to west of farmyard
Interior Original cow-shed has 2 rough trusses of C18 type, with raking braces to collar; two purlins and flat rafters. Traditional stall layout retained, with feeding passages against each gable end. Former cartshed also adapted as cow-shed with wooden stall divisions and feeding passage against rear wall. The granary above retains the wooden grain bins, slate-lined against the stone walls of the building. Lower cow-shed has concrete stalls (reconstructing an earlier arrangement c1947-8).

Exterior Built of local stone rubble, with slate roofs, one section replaced with corrugated sheeting and the lean-to cow-shed at the lower end with corrugated asbestos. The building is in three parts, the upper gable end set at right angles and against the raised terrace on which stands the house. The upper section is a cow-shed, with boarded door towards centre of yard-facing elevation, with a vent to its left and a small-paned window to the right. Further door towards lower gable in rear wall, and another small window. In the upper gable, and accessed from the raised terrace, is a small pitching door. The second section is shorter, originally a carthouse (now cow-shed) with granary over, the wide carthouse door now reduced to a boarded door under a large stone lintel, and stone steps in front rise to a renewed door into the granary. The third stage, at the S end of the range, is a lean-to cow-shed with a boarded door and small window.
