Description
Tafolgraig Farmhouse is a two-storey, three-window farmhouse constructed in the mid-19th century. It is built of squared rubble stone, with a slate roof and stone chimneys. Late 20th-century slate lintels replaced earlier brick lintels at the rear. The first floor has three 16-pane sash windows, and the ground floor similarly has three windows, though the central window was originally a doorway. A datestone reading "Tafolgraig Adeiliadwyd Awst 23, 1856 David Davies" is set between the floors. The rear of this block has three small-pane windows with brick heads on the first floor, and a small-pane sash window and a window with modern glazing on the ground floor.
A two-storey house dating to the 17th century is set at a right angle to the main farmhouse, with its gable end facing southeast. It is constructed of rubble stone, though the southwest wall is rendered, with a slate roof and a stone chimney to the southeast gable. It has a small-pane window to the first floor on the right side, and a modern lean-to addition on the ground floor which is rendered with a slate roof and small-pane glazing, alongside a boarded door. The rear of this block has a small-pane window set at eaves on the northeast side, a 12-pane hornless sash window and a window with modern glazing on the ground floor. The northwest gable has a small-pane window to the first floor, and to the southwest are two dormers with small-pane windows set under the eaves, and three small-pane windows to the ground floor.
To the left of the main farmhouse is a barn block. This two-storey rubble and slate outbuilding has a small-pane first floor window and a glazed door. Beyond this is a barn, the front elevation of which is obscured by a modern concrete block extension. The rear of the barn block features stone stairs leading up to a modern doorway with a modern glazed door, plus a casement window. A modern window is placed in the gable end of the barn.
The 17th-century block contains a large fireplace and some exposed beams. Former barn trusses have raking struts.
