Description
Glanyrafon is a house constructed from whitewashed rubble stone, topped with a slate roof and featuring a small brick stack at the right end. The building has flat overhanging eaves and is one storey with an attic. It is double-fronted, showcasing large 16-pane windows set in cambered-headed brick surrounds with stone sills on either side of the door. The attic includes 9-pane eaves dormers with lattice glazing in triangular heads and bargeboards. The left end of the house has a loft light and a pair of 20th-century casement windows with lattice glazing on the ground floor to the left. The right end wall features a 20th-century casement-pair window that was originally a door. At the rear, there is a similar gabled dormer and two small windows.
A 20th-century addition is present at the right end, which includes a 20th-century arched window and a half-glazed door, along with a 20th-century window at the end. The rear also has a long window that breaks the eaves under a small gable.
Inside, there is a partition between rooms, joisted floors, and a part-blocked fireplace with stone voussoirs. The roof features rough-hewn oak collar trusses, with pegged collars and single purlins, one of which is dated 1802.
