The farmstead of Rhyd-lydan is set back from the road and includes a barn is on the north side of the farmhouse. The house is two-and-a-half storeys, built of coursed rubble stone except for the brick front, and is probably the house marked on the 1845 Tithe map, albeit altered over time and extended in the early twenty-first century.

The surviving farm building is on the north side of the farmhouse and comprises an unrestored barn. It is a part-lofted timber-framed building on a sill of hand-moulded bricks. The walls are faced in weatherboarding, with significant areas where this has been replaced by corrugated iron sheets. The roof is slate. The barn is to be demolished (2024).
