Description
Hafod is a one-and-a-half storey farmhouse built from whitened rubble on part boulder foundations, topped with a slate roof and featuring plain, unwhitened rubble chimneys. The main entrance is located off-centre to the left and is accessed through a late 19th-century gabled wooden porch. This porch has a segmental arch, decorative framing on the gable, and cross-windows on the sides, along with a panelled door and wooden frame.
The ground floor has plain Victorian sash windows, while the dormer level features three 12-pane sashes. The two windows on the right are set within a shared catslide dormer, while the left side has a gabled dormer. To the left of the primary section, there is a flush, continuously-roofed Victorian extension that also has sashes in a shared dormer, similar to the main house. This extension includes a plain boarded entrance on the ground floor and a 16-pane casement window to the left.
Beyond this extension is a contemporary lean-to addition with a boarded entrance at the front. The original section has a primary catslide extension at the rear, which features a boarded door on the north gable end. The south return and rear of the 19th-century addition have small 4-pane windows, and there is a brick chimney on the lean-to. This building was not inspected at the time of the survey in February 1997.
