History

This house has the appearance of being a C17 house developed in the early C19, but close examination shows no hard evidence for anything earlier than the C19 in which case it is a new build farmhouse by the Pontypool Park estate in the C17 style favoured by the estate during the ownership of Capel Hanbury Leigh 1795-1861 (see Monachty Farmhouse in the adjacent New Inn Community); the chimneys are especially characteristic of this. Only minor details have been altered since. The Mamhilad part of the Pontypool Park estate was sold in 1926.

Exterior

This house is built of local red sandstone rubble, partly rendered over and partly limewashed, with a Welsh slate roof to the front and concrete tiles to the rear. It is a two storey single depth plan house, L-shaped with a short wing projecting forward from the left hand end of the entrance front, this is a granary. The entrance is in an added gabled porch, two 2-light casements with elliptical heads on each floor. Quite steeply pitched roof with a central 2-flued stack with diamond set flues, with an additional triple-flued one on the left hand gable. Blind gable end to right. The rear elevation has two small paned casements and a modern single pane window on the ground floor and three small paned casements above, the left hand one being smaller. The rear gable has one large modern window and a smaller older one below and a small paned casement above. The granary wing has a small window on the ground floor. The front of the granary has a window below and an external stair leading to a plank door in a gabled hood above.

Interior

The Victorian interior is unaltered but extremely plain. Plain wooden fire surrounds, timber stair, plain joinery etc. The planning is also unaltered.
