Description
Hafod is an early 19th-century building featuring later splayed bays. It has a hipped slate roof on the right side and smooth render that includes some scribing to imitate ashlar, along with moulded quoins. The right side is roughcast, and there is a rendered chimney.
The building is two storeys high with a three-window front. At the centre, there is a gable with overhanging eaves and a bracketed cornice. On the first floor, a central Venetian window is framed by quoins moulded in render. Below this window, there is a doorway with a pedimented doorcase and moulded quoins on either side. The door is six-panelled, with some panels now glazed. To the left and right, there are splayed two-storey bays with flat roofs and four-pane horned sash windows.
