Description
Hafod Cottage is a single-storey cottage featuring a three-room layout, with integral end stacks and a ridge stack positioned to the left of the center. The exterior is constructed of roughly coursed rubblestone, with significant remnants of lime plaster on the front, and it has a slate roof. There are four-paned sash windows on either side of a plank door to the right, with another four-paned sash window to the left, all having slate cills and slate drips above the stacks. At the rear, there is a continuous catslide outshut and a lean-to extension that is set back to the left. The interior was not accessible during the survey.
