Tonfanau

Tonfanau is a large 1½-storey house that includes a main range with a rear wing, which is the original part of the house, and a cross wing that serves as a secondary dwelling and cart house. The building is constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof, although part of the roof was missing at the time of inspection. The main range faces east and features a stone stack on the right and a replacement brick stack on the left. The entrance is offset to the right, but the door is missing. There are four windows that are not evenly placed, with the third window in the center being narrower and retaining some glazing bars from former sash windows. The house has three dormers that were once covered by raked hoods. At the rear, there is a short wing on the right that has a corbelled stack on the first floor. To the right of this wing is an inserted attic window, and the right side wall contains an original window opening.

The cross wing, which faces north, functions as the secondary dwelling. It has a central entrance flanked by windows and features three dormers. There is a lower extension with one window set back to the right, which has a separate doorway and an end stack. Attached to the left end is a two-bay cart house and granary that has openings under lintels. The gable end of the cart house includes stone steps leading to the granary entrance. The rear of the secondary dwelling, which faces the front of the main range, has two dormers with sash windows and a sash window located on the lower right.

Most of the original roof structures are intact, although much of the partitioning dates from the 19th century. In the main range, there is a large blocked fireplace on the north end with a deep timber chamfered lintel, and a smaller fireplace at the south end. Many beams are plastered over, but some chamfered joists remain, especially in the rear wing, where the first-floor fireplace features a chamfered timber lintel. The secondary dwelling has a staircase roughly opposite the doorway, with a stone spine wall to the left, and it also includes chamfered beams and joists. Additionally, a bakehouse retains its bread ovens.
