Much restored, group 3 houses. Originally probably a late medieval cruck-framed, half-timbered hall house, which was storeyed and refaced in stone in l628. Then in the 19th century, it was given applied and painted timber decoration to the front and an addtional wing with gable added after 1890. Original late medieval building has had some modern alterations during conversion into two properties. Single storey and attic with steep, undulating slate roof; stone gable parapets and chimney stacks with weathercoursing to ends and opposite the entry to No l06 (original main door). The three gables have 3 and 4-light mullion and transom windows. Cross frame windows below each gable; all windows have diamond leaded glazing. Roof extends down to extreme left over lean-to with small window; lean to square bay below central gable. Paired boarded doors to right of centre. The timber decoration is mainly close studded and herringbone and applied in an unarchaeological manner. Lean-to on left gable end; modernised at rear, whitewashed render. Lobby entry plan form. No 106 has simple stop chamfered beams and deep window recesses. Now 2 ground floor rooms, each with fireplaces, that to right is blocked but that to left retains fine Cl7 plaster overmantel depicting basket of fruit surrounded by strapwork like band; it does not symmetrically fit the overmantel space. The main beam to this room is deeply chamfered. 2 cruck trusses visible upstairs with twin overlapping purlins; pegged and lapped joints.

Event and Historical Information:
Traditonally held to be the old court building of the lordship of Cyfeiliog. An inscription above first floor window reads `1628 Owen Pugh io uxor?. The Pugh family acted as stewards to the Lord of the Manor and eventually became the Lords in their own right in the 17th century. They lived 4 miles outside of town at Mathafarn. David Wyn Davies, in his book The Town of the Prince, includes references to court cases that were heard before members of the Pugh family - for example, on 22 March 1636, Rowland Pugh of Mathafarn and Francis Herbert of Dolguog, acting as the King's Justices of the Peace reviewed applications for licences to keep 'a common alehouse and Victualling house'. David Wyn Davies also notes that the two families, Pugh and Herbert, were frequently involved in litigations against each other over rights to the market tolls for the town.
