Description

Glanyrafon is a three-storey house built in local stone, featuring three window openings. It has a lean-to addition at the rear that is partly constructed of stone and partly of brickwork, all of which is whitewashed. The roof is covered with unusually small slates, and there are brick chimneys at both ends, with the right chimney projecting externally as it served the original kitchen and has offsets at the top.

The top window openings have replaced frames, while the ground and first storey door and window openings feature segmental arches. The house has four-paned sash windows in exposed frames, although these are 19th-century sashes. The front door includes an overlight.

The main part of the house is blind-backed above the rear extension, which has three casement windows and two doors. Inside, there is a staircase leading from the ground to the second floor with turned balusters. Each of the main rooms on the ground and first floors has original four-panel doors. It is said that the original kitchen fireplace arch, made of stone voussoirs, survives concealed.

Local climate

Glanyrafon sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 980 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 78% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 56% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 80% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
