Description
Glanyrafon Farmhouse is a T-shaped house built from snecked rubble stone, featuring larger quoins and a slate roof. The main part of the house is connected to a lower added barn that has a brick ridge stack. The entrance wing, which has a lower eaves line, is added at right angles to the main range and includes an end stone stack. The openings in this wing have wedge lintels, including a doorway with a boarded door on the left side and a triple horizontal-sliding sash window with small panes to the right. On the upper storey, there are two small-pane hornless sash windows.
The main range has small-pane horned sashes under plain stone lintels. It consists of a single bay to the left of the entrance wing and two bays to the right, where there is also a boarded door on the lower left. The rear of the entrance wing features a centrally placed horizontal sash window in the lower storey and a fixed window in the upper right.
The barn has a corrugated asbestos-cement roof and retains a single small ventilation strip on the right side, along with two loft doorways on the left side. The rear of the barn has garage doors inserted on the left side, with an inserted sash window to its left, while the right side retains a boarded door and a casement window under wooden lintels. The garage doors obscure an earlier window with brick jambs.
The two-window rear of the house has lintelled windows similar to the front, except for a triple horizontal-sliding sash window on the lower right. The rear has been altered to serve as the main entrance by inserting a doorway on the right side. A lean-to at the left end has a boarded door facing the house, and its side wall features a triple horizontal-sliding sash window. Beyond the lean-to, there are two attached monopitched former kennels or pigsties.
