Description
Hafod Adams is a single-storey range constructed of white-washed rubble stone with unusually thick walls and large quoins. The roof is slate, with a brick stack to the south and a later 20th-century brick stack to the left of the entrance. The windows are mostly small-pane wooden casements, likely in their original positions but enlarged during the mid-to-late 20th century. A gabled stone porch with a slate roof is located to the right of centre on the west side, containing a half-glazed door under a flat head and a two-light casement to its south side. Within the porch is the original doorway, featuring a monolithic triangular stone head and large stone jambs, containing a boarded door. To the right of the porch is a small top-hung window potentially within an original opening, with a three-light casement with a concrete lintel to its right, illuminating the kitchen. Two three-light casements are located to the left of the porch, beyond which is an added northern unit with another casement. The east side of the house, facing the road, has four irregularly positioned windows; the two towards the left are two-light and three-light casements at differing heights, with the latter replacing a former stairlight. Two smaller windows are to their right, a two-light casement, and a four-pane window which replaces an earlier opening. Large projecting quoins are located to the right, beyond which is the added unit. The north gable end of the added unit has windows offset to the left.
Inside the entrance is a passageway leading from front to back, likely the original cross-passage. To the right is the kitchen, formerly the 17th-century hall, containing a large fireplace to the south end with a moulded timber lintel; the ceiling features a stop-chamfered cross-beam with decorative mouldings and a quarry tile floor. A modernised room to the left of the passageway has a small 20th-century cross-angle brick fireplace. A passage continues at right angles along the rear side of the house. A stone corbel projects from the wall, likely connected with a former staircase leading to the attic storey. The adjacent small window has a steeply raked sill. A further room leads off this passage, followed by an extension.
The attic, now used as loft space, has not been entered; it is said to retain an original decorated arch-braced truss with a moulded soffit and struts with cusped decoration.
