Description
Gorphwysfa is a two-storey building constructed from squared sandstone and topped with a slate roof featuring flat eaves and no chimneys, or shared chimneys with adjoining houses. The facade consists of a two-window range with 12-pane sash windows that have painted slate sills and stone voussoirs above their cambered heads. On the ground floor to the right, there are two arches with stone voussoirs; one arch leads to a 4-panel door with a plain fanlight above it, while the other arch provides access to a through-passage. The front garden is enclosed by low iron railings that extend along the front and side, continuing in front of the adjacent building, Glennydd, to the left.
