Sylfaen

Sylfaen and Brynafon is a two-storey building with a cellar and a double depth plan that includes an additional rear wing. It features a four-window front elevation made of brick, with the left-hand bay constructed of rubble. The building has slate roofs and two red brick ridge stacks, along with one end stack on the rear range. Both the house and shop have a two-unit plan with a central chimney and front door.

The upper storey windows on the front are 12-pane cast iron casements that extend to the eaves, complete with stone sills and cast iron quadrant stays. The ground floor windows are similar 16-pane casements set beneath stone wedge lintels. There is a tripartite window to the south of the shop front, which is topped by a round-headed arch. The house features a four-panelled front door within a doorcase that has a flat cornice, consoles, and moulded pilasters, accessed by stone steps.

The shop front includes a door that intersects with it, forming a projecting unit with a flat entablature that spans the entire width. It appears that the door, which resembles the one in the house but has wider pilasters, has been moved outward to align with the shop front. The shop front is made of plain wooden frames resting on red-brown brick bases, although the windows are currently boarded over. The southern half of the shop front is a later addition compared to the northern half.

The rear range, like the left bay of the front range, is constructed of random rubble masonry but features modern doors and windows. The short rear wing has a light timber-framed gable end, and there is an outshut section between the two rear ranges. A dog kennel is attached to the north end of the building, with a cast iron casement window positioned above it. Access to the interior was not available during the inspection in January 1996.
