Description
Rafel is a one-and-a-half-storey vernacular farmhouse with later additions on both the right and left sides, along with a single-storey wing that extends at right angles to the right. The building is constructed from whitened rubble with boulder foundations and features a heavily-grouted slate roof, topped with squat end chimneys on the main farmhouse. The main elevation faces a yard to the north and has an off-centre entrance on the left, which includes a modern single-storey porch made of whitened breeze blocks. The entrance has a ribbed, boarded outer door and a boarded inner door.
Flanking the entrance are windows with 4-pane late 19th-century casements, with those on the upper floor set within catslide dormers. The ground floor windows have exposed wooden lintels. To the left, there is a later lean-to addition with a modern window. Attached to the primary house on the right is a 19th-century service bay that features a dormer in the roof, similar to the main house, and an entrance on the right with an open 20th-century wind porch. This entrance has a boarded door with a 4-pane rectangular overlight.
The advanced wing on the right partly overlaps the service bay and consists of a former stable block on the right and a cart-bay section on the left, both under a continuous roof. The stable section has a modern door with a canopy porch and a 3-part casement window to the right, as well as a modern rooflight. A slated lean-to is attached to the right, featuring a boarded door with an overlight.
Inside, the former hall and parlour have stopped-chamfered main (lateral) beams and plain joists. A later vertically-studded partition divides part of the hall to create an entrance lobby with a later stair. The hall also features an inglenook fireplace with a stopped-chamfered bressummer. The roof is a four-bay structure with pegged collar trusses.
