A late two-unit fully storeyed house of Snowdonian type of mid-18th-century date. The detail is still traditional, with a large end fireplace, mural stair, and post-and-panel partition. The mural stair has been superseded by a staircase constructed in the passage, as is often the case. (R.F. Suggett/RCAHMW/July 2007)
