Description
Glanafon is a three-storey, two-window house built with rubble masonry and a front that is pebbledashed. It features a hipped roof covered with quarry slate and has deep boarded and plastered eaves. The house has paired stone stacks and water tabling.
On the second floor, the windows are set under the eaves, with a nine-pane upper sash above a deep two-pane lower sash, both framed with a cement architrave. The first and ground floors have similar deeper windows with panelled splays. The central doorway also has a cement architrave and features a shallow rectangular fanlight above a later 19th-century four-panelled door.
At the rear elevation, there is a tall, narrow 24-pane sash window in the center, with a small two-light casement window to the left under the eaves.
Inside, there is a contemporary dog-leg stair with four flights, featuring a handrail that sweeps up to half landings, square-sectioned rods, a scrolled newel, and moulded tread ends. The interior includes reeded architraves, deep panelled reveals, six-panel doors, and panelled shutters on the windows.
