A cruck-framed and probably timber-walled hall-house converted to a storeyed house of regional type. There are two principal phases:
1. Late-medieval hallhouse of `gentry? type, i.e. with a central open truss to the hall. Two trusses survive: (1) the central archbraced cruck-truss of a two-bayed hall remains set against an inserted chimney. The post-and-panel dais-end partition also survives with a suggestion of a dais canopy. It is uncertain if there are windbraces.
2. Storeyed house of regional type, c. 1600. The house is now of two-unit end-chimney lobby-entry plan-type. A large fireplace has been inserted against the central cruck of the hall and the hall truncated loosing the passage and the outer room, as at Tyn-llan, Gwyddelwern. The ceiling beams are moderately chamfered with curved stops.
3. A range has been added to the upper end of the house which is now a separate dwelling.

A cruck-framed hall of `gentry? type with a two-bay open hall and a dais partition of post-and-panel type with
evidence for a canopy. The central truss is arch-braced but not cusped. In or shortly after 1584 the ceiling was
inserted in the hall, with the chimney placed against the central truss. The hall was truncated and thus creating a
storeyed house of end-chimney lobby-entry type. The adjacent cruck-framed barn is broadly contemporary with
the reconstruction of the house. The crucks were said to have been re-used from a local medieval church, but the
frame carpentry indicates that they were felled for the barn. Detailed survey (2009) in NMRW.
