A late C17th, stone-built, 2 1/2 storey, 'T' shape plan, end-chimney house with central passage-entry and rear stair wing. Evidence of earlier C16th front-range.
This site can be compared with Gilfach-Y-Berthog, Whitewell, Carms., NPRN 17364, of similar plan and period. Geoff Ward, visited, 05/11/2002.

This 'T' shape plan house has been remodelled at the end of the C17th when the rear-wing was added to an earlier C16th front-range with batter to base of its walls. It has a central passage-entry end-chimney plan with rear stair/service wing.

A gable-end window to the stair at mezzanine ground-floor in the wing has a timber transom & mullion with the same mouldings and proportions as the late C17th one surviving to right on the front elevation. In the roof the front-range and wing have the same type of notched lap-joint collar-trusses and the stair mouldings are of similar late C17th appearance. However the earlier front-range parlour has C16th medium-chamfer ceiling-beams and closely spaced flat-section, chamfered joists. The parlour gable-end ceiling-beam has a C16th broach-stop receiving the same joists. But that is all that is visible of the earlier building (apart from the batter to base of walls) as the kitchen/hall has late C17th ogee stops to its ceiling-beams. Similarly the parlour fireplace, with internal projection, has a C17th ogee-stop to its bressummer, which clearly cuts across the C16th end ceiling-beam. The kitchen/hall fireplace has the lateC16th curved fillet stops to bressummer, but the stone jambs are not in-line indicating some rebuilding.
The present fenestration of sash windows may well have been inserted ca 1870, a date inscribed on the principal truss of the front range, perhaps when the roof was re-slated or improved.

Mullion transom windows
There are 2 surviving 2-light timber mullion and transom windows of same design, one in the rear-wing, lighting the stair at mezzanine ground-floor and the other to right side of front-elevation. These frames have mortice & tennon joints and are pegged together.
The front window has a rebate externally for leaded lights and a late C17th ogee moulding internally to sides and transom only. The top lights retain the diagonally set iron bars for tying the leaded lights. The lower pane bars have been removed, are assumed to be similar, although only when the boxed areas are removed can this be confirmed, they may have had horizontal bars. There is evidence for internal shutters to lower lights with iron pintles for one light and 3 leather nailed straps to other side. Externally there are also iron pintles to one side, presumably for a shutter covering both the lower lights.

It seems likely that the present openings of the late C19th sash windows would have formerly housed the late C17th mullion & transom type (see surviving example). Some windows in the rear wing may have been lower, plain 2-light timber mullions without transoms.

At first-floor the front range ceiling-beams are chamfered and have ogee stops and square section joists with plaster lathes between. Over partitions the ceiling-beams are of square section. Whilst at the rear the ceiling-beams and joists have square sections. The front range is divided into 5 rooms by lathe & plaster stud partitions which have 3 plank doors with ogee mouldings. The room over the parlour has a projecting fireplace in the gable-end with chamfered timber bressummer and straight-cut stops. This fireplace may be of the earlier period and has an adjacent blocked doorway. The other gable-end chimney has a later opening.
The stair continues to the attic with 3 collar trusses to rear wing and lathe & plaster partitions, possibly once with small gable-end fireplace.
The front range has 6 collar trusses of similar date without any partitions but with an external loft doorway at the north-east gable-end.
