Description
An early 19th century cottage, indicated on the 1841 Tithe map as owned by Rev. Morgan Evans and occupied by David Davies. It has later 19th century additions and alterations.

A cottage of whitewashed rubble stone construction with a slate roof. There are rubble built, gable end chimney stacks, thicker to the left, and a further stack to the left lean-to, abutting the house. The ground floor has 4-pane, hornless sash windows with cambered, stone, voussoired heads, while above are two dormer windows with sloping "eyebrow" roofs and 20th century glazing. There is a later rubble lean-to against the left end, with a corrugated asbestos roof. This has a window to the west (road) side with a lintel and boarded door to the rear. There is a later outshut to the rear right, with a boarded door and a 2-pane window to the west.

The interior has a unusual plan, originally of two rooms with a rear entry into the main one. The main ground floor room has three rough beams and modern fireplace, and there is a six-panel door to the parlour. It has a five-bay collar-truss roof structure, the east two pairs of trusses rough with pegged collars and paired purlins, the others are later and sawn. Perhaps this mixture is due to a raising of the roof to create attic rooms, reusing the best of the old timbers.
