Description
Glanyrafon is a 2-storey, 2-window cottage dating from the 18th century. It features a timber-framed front beneath a slate roof, with brick stacks at either end. To the right, there is a single-unit outbuilding that shares the same roofline and has a weather-boarded front. The gable ends are constructed from random stone, while the rear is not visible. The front of the cottage displays three tiers of box-panelling on a plinth, with the panels being plastered. There is a lobby entrance on the left with a boarded door, and to the right, two 2-light casement windows with uPVC glazing are set in the original openings, with similar windows positioned above them just below the eaves. The outbuilding to the right also has a matching uPVC window. A modern garage is attached to the left end of the cottage. The interior was not seen during the resurvey.
