Description
Hafod House and Hafod House Farmhouse comprise a brown brick building with stone dressings to the front elevation, set beneath slate roofs with end wall stacks featuring decorative, blank segmentally arched panels. The main range, Hafod House, dates from the 18th century and faces south. It is three storeys high with a three-window arrangement and a central entrance. The doorway features margin-light glazing within a moulded stone architrave topped with a pediment supported by scrolled brackets. Flanking the doorway are 12-pane sash windows (glazing renewed), with emphasised voussoir detailing. Similar windows are present on the first floor, with the window above the doorway framed within a moulded architrave. The attic storey has six-pane sash windows, the central one again within a moulded architrave. A plain parapet tops the building, with coped gables, and blind windows appear in the east gable return.
The rear wing, Hafod House Farmhouse, is a two-storey structure with an attic and a prominent projecting gable end stack. The east elevation has a central doorway flanked by two 12-pane sash windows on each floor; these windows have finely gauged brick heads. Earlier window openings are visible, with blocked heads, suggesting later insertions, and some of the first-floor windows are later additions. A horizontal eaves band is present, and two gabled dormers are incorporated into the roof. The west elevation has a doorway inserted towards the right, with a blocked window to its right. To the left are two 12-pane sash windows with flat arched heads (likely later insertions), and a margin-light sash inserted into an earlier opening, featuring a single ring cambered head. Two similar windows are on the first floor, one blocked and containing a later sash window, and a further 12-pane sash with a flat arched head. A steep gabled dormer in the roof contains a two-light casement window. A lower unit adjoins to the north; it has a plank door with a single ring head and a small-paned, horizontally sliding sash window on its east elevation.
Within the rear wing is a likely original staircase, featuring turned balusters, square newels, a closed string, and a pulvinated frieze. The main range appears to have been remodelled internally in the early 19th century. This period is reflected in the staircase, which has thin spindles, moulded tread ends, and a swept rail, along with plasterwork ceilings in the principal rooms.
