Shown on the 1840 Tithe Map, the cottage is likely to have been built as a smallholder's cottage in the early C19. The cottage is one of the earliest surviving buildings in the immediate vicinity of the mid-C19 planned estate village of Llandwrog.

Cottage with single-storey, 2-room plan, aligned roughly north-south, with a loft over the right side room. It is constructed of limewashed, roughly coursed rubblestone with a graded slate roof. The front has 9-pane horned sashes with red ochre-painted frames and slate cills to either side of an offset boarded door, there are integral end stacks with slate drips. A small, 19th century skylight is just below ridge, lighting the crog-lofft. A wash house is set back to right gable end, which has a fixed-light window to the left of the boarded door. A catslide outshut to the rear continues to the back wall of the cottage.
