Cofnod Safle

The history of this house is uncertain due to the stonework not being visible. Its main character is C18 giving the impression of a relatively balanced front with central entrance into a hall and end chimneys, but this may be misleading as the random arrangement of windows could well suggest earlier origins. It could for instance be an earlier C17 two room house with gable entry at the central chimney but this is speculation. Alternatively the house could be a first build of the late C17 from the almost symmetrical period. It was extended to the right probably in the C19 and it also has rear wings of two different builds.

The house is wholly rendered and whitewashed, probably over local rubblestone, and has Welsh slate roofs with unusually large slates. It forms a long rectangular block of at least two builds and has two rear wings, one in the centre and one to the left when viewed from the front. It is two storeys except for the single storey addition to the right hand gable. The main block has three windows with a central entrance, gable and stacks. The windows are all mostly three plus three casements.
