This is a Listed sub-medieval two-storey farmhouse of a pattern constructed in Snowdonia in the late 17th century. The house type is characterised by its tall end chimneys and its three unit ground floor plan with a central through-hallway between a large parlour at one end and a pair of smaller rooms at the other, all separated by oak dais partitions.<\/p>\n
The house has been retrieved for residential use; its first floor previously having been used as a fodder store for livestock.<\/p>\n
The house has undergone progressive improvements including replacement of rear derelict lean-to outhouses with a new extension providing internal accommodation, re-roofing, re-grading surrounding ground and construction of curtilage walls in dry stonework. (Photographs show the first phase, following the building of the replacement lean-to extension.)<\/p>\n
The new extension accommodates a lobby\/dining hall, and modern service rooms. The wrap-around corner windows of the dining hall take advantage of panoramic views of the Snowdonia mountain range.<\/p>\n
Missing portions of oak dais panelling was reinstated with locally harvested oak. Stone and slate were salvaged on site for external walls and paving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
