Description
Gelli Fach is a house constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof and red brick end chimneys. It stands two storeys high and features a three-window range that is offset to the left. On the first floor, there are three hornless 9-pane sash windows positioned above longer 12-pane sash windows, which flank a 20th-century door with a thin overlight. All openings have bi-colour painted brick flat heads and slate sills. The west end of the house has a 12-pane sash window towards the rear and a small 4-pane window on the first floor, which may have been inserted later. There is an outshut at the rear, while the east end is windowless. A remnant of whitewash can be seen up to mid-height of the front door.
