Hafod

Hafod is a farmhouse consisting of two ranges that join at right angles through a low link. Both ranges are two storeys tall, but the west range is approximately 2 meters higher. The building features local quasi-rubble slate stonework with traces of limewash and slate roofs. There is a stone end chimney on the south side of the east range and another stone chimney to the west of the original west range. A 19th-century extension to the west range is constructed using similar materials.

The east range has UPVC windows and a doorway on the west side, which features a cambered brick arch. The original part of the west range includes two small-pane timber-mullion windows above and one similar mullion and transom window below, equipped with iron casements and glazing bars. There is also a doorway on the right with a four-centred stone arch.

The east range, possibly the older of the two, contains two surviving medieval arch-braced trusses, both of aisled form with king posts and cambered tie beams. The southern truss is elaborately carved, with main posts resembling four colonettes separated by thin keels, similar to the posts of the spere truss of Pen-y-bryn nearby. The roof features cusped principals, struts, and braces, with the south truss showcasing a king post carved as a cluster of small colonnettes with cap and base. The soffit of the arch-braces on the south truss displays late Gothic (15th/16th century) pierced tracery. The north truss is more utilitarian but includes some cusping; it is believed to have incorporated a partition with doors in the aisle openings on either side.

The earlier part of the west range, likely from the 17th century, is square in shape and has an upper floor divided into four sections by heavily moulded main beams and joists. There is a trimmed opening in the northeast corner that leads to a 17th-century quarter-landing staircase with splat balusters. The fireplace on the west side includes two ovens.
