Cadw's description

History
Farmhouse mostly late C18/early C19, pre 1809 as Theophilus Jones refers to Blaenant as one of the mansions of Llanfeugan parish and as having risen from the ashes of its predecessor, suggesting an earlier building. Restored and extended 1893 by David Morgan who also built the range of farmbuildings adjacent. Tithe map of 1841 shows house and range of buildings on line of later byre.
Exterior

Two storeys, main 4 window range of 6/6 pane sashes with narrow glazing bars in reveals, centre right blind or blocked; ground floor has centre right gabled porch supported by two cast iron columns on yellow brick plinths; far left signs of a blocked former window, centre left enlarged to a tripartite large pane horned sash; far right a 6/6 pane sash. Stepped back to left is the lower 2 storey shallow gabled extension added in 1893 with long segmental arched hopper windows to gable end facing the farmyard, 3 to first floor and 2 below. To rear, close against bank, 6/6 pane sash windows and a central round arched multipane staircase window.
Interior

Reason for designation
