Description
Gilfach-ganol farmhouse is a building constructed from local stone, roughcast and whitewashed, with an asbestos slate roof added in 1996. The front walls of the earlier section are battered at the base. The entrance is now located near the center of the south front, featuring a modified early living room window, and is set within a lean-to open rendered porch with side seats, likely added around 1700. The entrance has timber lintels that are no longer visible and stone sills. The farmhouse includes nine-pane timber windows from the 20th century and a modern stable-type front door. At the rear, there is a new two-storey gabled structure that contains the kitchen and other rooms, with a rubble terraced platform on the downhill side.
Inside, the original living hall has had its original stone flags replaced with stone in 1996. It features two deeply chamfered cross beams with cut stops. The lath and plaster partition that formed the inner room has been removed, leaving mortices on a third cross beam. There is a circular stone stair located behind the stack, along with various small openings in the walls, including a cupboard next to the secondary fireplace that was inserted around 1700 in the inner room. The timber fire lintel remains in place. The roof is a two-bay structure, with principal rafters that are curved at the base and have a single tenoned collar, supporting two tiers of purlins.
