Tagged with: House
A smaller 'Regional' two-room house which dates probably from the early C17. Celynen means holly tree, but the house has also been known as Cider Mill. This name suggests that it was put to industrial use in the C19 and is now returned to domestic. It was greatly rebuilt and enlarged in the 1980s and 90s. Only the main ground floor room survives to any significant extent.
The house is built of local rubblestone, partly rendered in the extension, and with a batter to the original part, Welsh slate roof. The original cottage is a two room, one and a half storeys block with two late C20 casement windows, the upper ones rising into dormers; the windows are 3 3 pane casements. Central door (giving side entry to hall). Late C20 rebuilt gabled porch. Brick stack on the right hand gable. The left gable has a C19 3-light casement on each floor. The right gable has a late C20 lean-to covering the ground floor with two small casement windows, the gable is blind above. The rear elevation has a two storey wing attached going to a two storey gabled wing at right angles and two further single storey additions. All this work is late C20.
The hall retains its post-and-panel partitioning and cross beams. The joists have been renewed. The fireplace has monolith jambs and a chamfered oak lintel. Firestair with the original plank door. The upper floor was rebuilt in the 1980s and the upper floor partition, recorded by Fox and Raglan, had already gone at listing in 1980.
Included as an early C17 house which, despite addition and alteration, still retains its character.
