Description
Set back from the road near its junction with Tan yr Allt Avenue. Probably late 18th century, and said at one time to have been in use as two dwellings.

It is constructed of limewashed roughly coursed rubble, with slate roofs with end wall stacks. It is two storeys, L-plan, with 2-unit main range and single unit wing. The present entrance is in the angle of the main range and wing, with a secondary entrance into the wing at the outer junction of the two. There are 12-pane sash windows on each floor on either side of the wing, and similar windows in the main range, although disturbance to the masonry around them suggests that these are not in the original openings. The right hand unit of the main range is built on a rough and heavy plinth, and it is possibly a separate (and earlier) phase of construction.

The interior retains roughly chamfered axial beams in the main range, and an axial beam with a run-out chamfer stop in the wing, which has a deep fireplace in the gable end.

A good example of a local vernacular house which retains much of its character.
