History
Vernacular structure of domestic type dating from later C17 to mid C18 with later C19 front wing. Modern alterations. Shown on 1841 Tithe Map without gabled front wing. The property then belonged to John Homfrey Esq of Bedwas House.

Main portion of building has shaped slate tiles (formerly stone slates), slated roof to N with single swept dormer-head; four rendered stacks with wide drip-courses. Shortened gable end to S with projecting chimney breast and small 2-light upper window to right. Main front range has paired upper casement windows rising through eaves and with broad sills. Ground floor doorway to lower left with 4-panel door behind metal grille. Projecting front wing has rubble quoins and a plain tripartite timber window over symmetrical shop front with centre door under overall fascia. N range has casements to single dormer and modern ground-floor openings. Stone-walled forecourt plus yard to rear.
