Description
Stone-built lobby-entry house, altered in the C19th but incorporating the remains of a substantial cruck-framed hallhouse. The lower-end truss survives intact and also the upper-end bay ceiling. A cruck-framed barn (NPRN 98092) is sited parallel with the house. A cowhouse (NPRN 98094) is set at right-angles to the house. Other farm buildings (NPRN 98093 & 98095) define a second yard E. of the cowhouse. Noted in 1992. (RFS/2002)

A medieval house with 2-bay hall. The house was substantially rebuilt in the mid C19, when an attached cow house was built at right angles to enclose a yard facing the barn, probably of the same date. The building is shown in its present form on the 1889 Ordnance Survey.

A 2-storey house of rubble stone, with a slate roof, a brick stack to the right of centre and roughcast stack to the left. Openings are under wooden lintels and the casement windows have blue-brick sills. The main entrance is to the right of centre and has a boarded door with overlight. To its right are two 3-light casement windows in each storey, while to its left is a 4-light window, then a boarded door to the back kitchen, a 3-light window and a 2-light window part boarded up. Three 3-light upper-storey windows are above the main openings.
A further bay at the right end of the house is weatherboarded and has a boarded door and shuttered opening. The roughcast left gable end has an inserted upper-storey window and added ty bach. In the rear elevation is an outshut on the right side, and 3 upper-storey windows under the eaves. To the lower left is a corrugated iron lean-to (described by RCAHM Wales as an engine house).

The cow house, set at right angles to the house against the east gable end, is lower than the main house, and built of rubble stone with weatherboarded loft, and slate roof, part replaced in corrugated metal sheets. Facing the yard it has a single boarded door and 2 shuttered loft openings. In the south gable end is a doorway to the right, rebuilt in brick above the lintel, and shuttered opening to the left and in the loft. The rear has 3 square-headed manure pitching holes.
