Description
Gellilyfdy is a 2-storey house constructed of rubble stone with larger quoins and a slate roof. The windows have mostly been replaced but are set in earlier openings. The original entrance is now enclosed by a single-storey gabled projection on the right side, which features pebble-dashed walls and an end stack. To the left of this projection is a renewed casement window within an earlier opening, topped by a 19th-century stone segmental head, and above it is a similar casement window beneath a wooden lintel. There is also a 19th-century lower gabled wing set back against the left gable end, which has an end stone stack that has been heightened in brick. This wing features a segmental-headed window in the lower storey and another window below the eaves, both renewed as wooden casements. At the rear, the 19th-century wing has a horizontal sliding sash window in the lower left under a wooden lintel. The rear of the main house is marked by a large external stack with a tall stone shaft, and to the left of this stack is an added single-storey gabled projection. The right gable end of the house has wooden casements on each storey, with the upper storey and gable featuring renewed windows in original dressed stone surrounds.
The original doorway is located within the added projection at the front, with a narrow vent strip to its right. Inside, a timber-framed partition between the hall and outer room is now hidden by wallpaper, though a doorway has been cut through it from the porch, and it retains an original Tudor-headed doorway. Both the hall and outer room have well-preserved joist-beam ceilings with stepped stops. The hall features a stone depressed arch over the fireplace. It is believed that the upper storey was originally open to the roof and is said to retain arched-brace trusses, although these are concealed by an inserted joist-beam ceiling.
