Pont-y-Gafel

Pont-y-Gafel is a house dating from the late 18th century, constructed of rubble stone with slate roofs that overhang at the gables, featuring stone end stacks. The house is arranged over two floors and an attic, with an L-shaped plan. The three-window front has an eaves cornice of quarter-round moulding, reminiscent of that at Plas Whitchurch, stepped up to a level plinth. Recessed, cambered heads with cut sandstone voussoirs and raised keystones frame plate glass sashes and a half-glazed front door with an overlight. Stone sills are present throughout. A stone inscribed "EJ 1789" is located on the left-hand side of the front. The right-hand end wall contains plate glass sashes on both floors, while the left-hand end has a loft light and sashes on each floor to the right, with brick heads. A basement opening is visible with a heavy slab lintel.

A rear range, set back from the main house, includes a square end stack; its facade is offset to the right, with a small fireplace window to the extreme left. Four-pane sashes are present on each floor to the left of the door, and a c.1900 stair light replaces matching windows to the right. The lower window has been partially blocked. Stone slab lintels are a feature of this rear range. Its rendered end wall has overhanging verges and a tiny window to a corbelled smoke chamber. An outshut at the rear connects to an added rear outshut on the front range, both of which have been substantially altered with large 20th-century dormers.

The interior of the rear range contains three large beams and a heavy fireplace beam, along with square-cut joists. The fireplace houses a smoke chamber with a rounded wall and a corbelled stone roof. A main staircase, approximately dating to c.1900, was inserted to the right of the entrance passage, featuring turned newels and balusters. The interior of the front range was altered around c.1900, and now includes 4-panel doors. The main roof features seven oak trusses with curved feet to the principals and no collars, while the rear roof incorporates six oak trusses.
