Description
Glan Afon is a two-storey cottage that is part of a row of several similar cottages. It is constructed from whitewashed rubble stone and has a roof covered with small slates. The cottage features a single stack on the left, which is shared with the adjoining cottage that has a higher roofline, while the cottage to the right has a lower roofline. The front of the cottage has two windows, which are offset to the right. These windows are small square 16-pane hornless sashes, with the upper windows breaking the eaves under gabled half dormers. There are also two small single rooflights, one located between the dormers and the other to the left. The ground floor includes a plain black painted boarded door and black painted shutters.
