Shown on 5 historical map sheets, the earliest the 1795 "To Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn Bart ... the map of the six counties of North Wales is most humbly inscribed by his obedient humble servant" (Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru – The National Library of Wales).
Cadw's description
Location
Set back from the road near its junction with Tan yr Allt Avenue.
History
Probably late C18, and said at one time to have been in use as two dwellings.
Exterior
Limewashed roughly coursed rubble, slate roofs with end wall stacks. 2 storeys, L-plan, with 2-unit main range and single unit wing. Present entrance in angle of main range and wing, with a secondary entrance into the wing at the outer junction of the two. 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.
Interior
Roughly chamfered axial beams in main range, and axial beam with run-out chamfer stop in wing, which has a deep fireplace in the gable end.
Reason for designation
A good example of a local vernacular house which retains much of its character.
