Description
Esgair Dafydd is a three-window farmhouse dating from the 19th century, featuring one-and-a-half storeys. It is built of white-washed rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. To the left, there is a large projecting stone stack, while a brick end stack is located to the right. The entrance is offset to the right of the center and consists of a planked door beneath a multi-pane overlight with a cambered stone head. On either side of the entrance, there are sash windows with marginal glazing; the left window has a cambered stone head, and the right window has a segmental brick head. The upper storey has three small 4-pane sashes positioned just under the eaves, with the center window slightly offset to the right. There was no access to the sides or rear of the building, and the interior could not be inspected at the time.
