Cadw's description

Location

Isolated location. Prominently sited on N side of Cwmdu-Llanfynydd minor road reached off the B4302 at Halfway.

Rendered gable chimney stacks, thicker to left. Rendered plinth. Offset regular 3-window facade. Upper windows are Victorian 3 over 2 pane sashes, vertical glazing bars only; timber lintels. Ground floor windows with concrete lintels and Victorian 6-pane sashes, vertical glazing bars only. Central doorway with raised cemented lugged architrave and keystone. Modern half-glazed door.

Interior

Original oak bressumer to wide fireplace in ground floor left room with blocked bread oven. Adzed beams to ground floor.

Reason for designation

Good example of a late Georgian farmhouse and may be compared to Rhyd ar Wen 1 km NE, dated 1777. Danycapel, however is less old-fashioned in not having a projecting big chimney.
