Hafodynys

Hafodynys is a country house of rectory scale, built using roughcast rubble stone with a slate roof. The roof features decorative ridge tiles, and the end chimneys have moulded capping. The main house is a rectangular block with a symmetrical three-bay facade and three gables to the rear. The central bay, which houses the entrance, projects forward with a steeply-gabled roof, deep verges, and simply-moulded bargeboards. A plain rectangular plaque sits at the apex of this gable. The entrance is accessed via a single-storey porch with a plain opening to the front and two-pane side lights. Within the porch are four-panel double doors, the upper panels glazed, set within a moulded wooden architrave. A twelve-pane unhorned sash window is positioned above the porch, with a flat, returned label. The remaining ground floor windows are contemporary twelve-pane unhorned sashes, arranged in a tripartite style with four-pane flanking sections, and feature projecting stone sills. A twelve-pane sash window is present on the first floor of the right-hand gable, with eight-pane French windows below.

The rear elevation retains its original windows in an asymmetrical arrangement, and also has three gables. The left-hand gable is wider and projects beyond the other two. This gable has wavy decoration to the bargeboards. The right-hand gable has a tripartite sash window to the ground floor, matching the front facade, and a sixteen-pane sash to the first floor, with a plain-glazed cross-window to the attic floor above. The central gable includes a fifteen-pane stair light and a sixteen-pane sash window diagonally above. The right-hand gable has a twelve-pane sash to the ground floor and a blocked first-floor window to the right, positioned beyond a stepped, expressed chimney stack, with the chimney placed at the gable end.

Adjoining the rear of the main block, between the central and left-hand gables, is a small, flat-roofed block dating from the early 20th century. This consists of a two-storey section and a single-storey projection to the left. It has simple six-pane sashes and a boarded door to the right.

Attached to the main block to the northeast, and to the rear at its right corner, is a one-and-a-half storey block also dating from the early 20th century. It is constructed with the same materials and includes a lateral chimney in the centre with a simple corbelled cornice. This range features a twelve-pane horned sash to the front-facing gable end, and two similar sashes to both the ground and first floors of the garden-facing side. Each garden-facing window has a corbelled label made of compound tiles and roughcast brick, with similar treatment to the sills; the first-floor windows break the eaves and are contained within hipped gabled dormers. The single-bay rear of this range has matching windows to both floors, with a boarded entrance tucked into the corner on the far right.

The interior of the house was not inspected during the survey.
