Old peasant houses in Wales were thatched mud huts with earthen floors and a fire / cooking place in the middle, and a wooden sleeping area raised on stilts. They were either circular or rectangular. The only ones left now are in re-enactment sites such as Cosmeston Medieval Village.
Other types of traditional house are cottages and farmhouses built of stone or a timber frame, with a thatched roof. Some have a half-storey at the top with dormer windows peeking out from the thatch. One well known type is the Welsh Long House.
In mid-Wales, especially near the English border - an area heavily influenced by the English, there are a lot of oak-framed houses. The oak structure is exposed like a grid on the outside, and the panels are either rendered or bricked up.
More recently, and especially in industrialised areas such as South Wales, are long rows of terraced houses with slate roofs, which follow the contours of the valleys. When brick was expensive, they were built of stone with brick corners ("quoins"). When bricks became cheaper, they were built of brick with stone corners.
