Description

Dol-Ganedd is a building constructed from rubble with an old slate roof and rendered end chimneys featuring weather-coursing. The main front, which faces south, has four bays and an entrance located in the second bay, accessed by four stone steps. There is a later added porch made of whitened rubble, topped with a hipped slate roof and featuring a ribbed, boarded door. The building has four-pane recessed 19th-century sash windows on both floors, with the upper windows being smaller and set within rubble hipped dormers. To the right, there is a later extension with a long mono-pitch roof, modern wooden garage doors at what was once a cart entrance, and a deeply-recessed shuttered light above. At the rear, there are three dormers similar to those at the front and 20th-century windows with six and four panes. A modern extension to the right has a hipped slate roof.

Inside, the ground-floor left room features a six-panelled door and ogee stopped-chamfered main beams. The right room has a full beamed ceiling with similar detailing and a fireplace with a plain topped-chamfered bressummer. There is a good, simple contemporary dog-leg stair with panelled newel posts that have flat tops, turned balusters, and an upper landing with bobbin-turned details.
