Description

Gwanuforfydd House is an early 19th-century building featuring a roughcast painted exterior. It has a two-storey structure with a symmetrical facade that includes three windows. The roof is slate, and there are rendered gable chimney stacks, with the one on the right being thicker. On the first floor, there are three horned sash windows, each with nine panes arranged in a 6-pane over 3 configuration, and these windows have raised cemented double-lugged architraves. The house has a small, simple central gabled porch with a modern half-glazed inner door. There are raised cemented vertical strips at the corners and a similarly treated horizontal string course between the storeys. Additionally, there is a lean-to on the left side that features a half-glazed door.
