Description
Hafod-y-Rhisk, also known as Hafod Rhisgl, is a storeyed house dating from the 19th century, featuring a long three-window range. The exterior is constructed from whitened rubble with boulder foundations, topped by a modern slate roof, although the gable parapets have been removed. The house has a central chimney and an end chimney on the left; the central chimney was originally a projecting end chimney that marked the end of the primary block. The primary entrance is off-centre to the right and has a projecting slate dripstone; it features a 19th-century four-pane sash window within an original opening, also with a dripstone. There is another similar entrance and window to the right. On the far left, there are two modern windows, while the first floor of the primary section has two four-pane sashes and an additional modern window in the extended part of the house. The rear includes a boarded door and two late Victorian sashes, one with two panes and another with four panes.
To the left of the main house, there is a 19th-century single-storey dairy or brewhouse addition, which forms an L-plan with the main house. This addition has a plain end chimney and a modern porch on the left return. A large modern lean-to extension with a gabled dormer above has also been added.
The interior features a cross-passage plan that originally had opposing entrances. The former hall boasts a heavily-beamed ceiling, framed in three ways with stop-chamfering, and has a slate-flagged floor. A wide fireplace with a segmental arch made of tall stone voussoirs is a notable feature. A former newel stair, located to the left of the fireplace, was altered to create a lobby entry, suggesting it was already in place when the house was extended. Inside the hall, there is a simple portable pulpit of rectangular form with a tall post on one side, likely made of ash wood and dating from the late 18th century; a cut-out in the ceiling corresponds to where the post was positioned during services. The roof of the building is entirely modern.
