History
Gelligatti was owned by the Vaughans of Golden Grove from the C17, passing to the Earls of Cawdor. It is a farmhouse of unusual scale, part of a late C19 model farm. Lord Cawdor employed J W Poundley of Montgomeryshire for model farm buildings elsewhere on the estate, and he may have been the architect here

Coursed rubble stone with rendered angle strips and big hipped valley roof with two axial yellow brick and slate stacks. Square plan, two-storey three-window range of 12-pane sashes with cut-stone voussoirs and slate sills. Centre C20 door with fanlight in hipped lean-to stone porch with centre gable over arched entry and yellow brick impost band. Two-window W side with hipped ground floor lean-to. Three-window E side, three upper 12-pane sashes, one to ground floor left, and centre cross window.
