Penybont & Glanyrafon, including forecourt wall

This is a distinctly Arts and Crafts style house, Penybont, with an attached property, Glanyrafon, dating to the early 20th century. Penybont is constructed of stone with concrete dressings, topped with a slate roof that has overhanging eaves and stone chimney stacks. The three-bay front features a projecting central gable, designed in the style of C.F.A. Voysey, and dated 1907 with the initials MLV. The gable is asymmetrical and swept down to the left. Small-pane casement windows with central transoms are a prominent feature, with a three-light window positioned centrally. The main entrance is set to one side under the gable, leading to a porch with a cambered arch and hoodmould, featuring a boarded door. Small hall windows flank the porch, with the right-hand window angled within its splay. Smaller, slate-hung attic gables are located on either side. The left-hand gable end has a two-light window on each storey, previously covered with asbestos tiles. The right-hand gable end also has a two-light window, leading to a stone wall set at a skewed angle, connecting with a coach-house. This wall contains a round arch providing access to the rear of the properties. At the rear of Penybont is a lean-to addition at the left end, and two flat-headed dormers on the right. A modern porch has also been added to the rear. A traditional post and paling fence separates it from the adjacent property. Glanyrafon is attached at a right angle to the south end of Penybont, and its front elevation steps forward from the left gable end of Penybont. This section has been modernised with new windows and a western extension.

The forecourt wall, contemporary with Penybont, steps up the slope along the main front and right-hand gable end. To the left, it turns to meet the central gable, and then restarts beyond the left gable end, forming a boundary with the forecourt of Glanyrafon. The wall has a stone base with concrete coping, above which is a timber balustrade supported by stone piers. Timber gates are located at the main entrance and beside the coach-house.

Penybont retains many original Arts and Crafts features, including ironwork details on the windows and boarded doors, moulded architraves, and brick fireplaces. The entrance leads to a small hallway with a central timber staircase. Behind the hall are ground floor rooms with broad recesses, with the room on the left lit by a small window. Upstairs, one room has a blocked angled fireplace, and another retains a cupboard built into the gable side.
