Cadw's description
Location
Set back from the street line behind dwarf rubble forecourt walls with simple central gate. The cottage is partly overlapped to the L by a late C19 gabled shop building.
Exterior
Adjoining Quay Cottage at right-angles to the R, its gable end on the street line, a small single-storey rendered-rubble and slate building, probably a former wash house or shop; C19. Recessed, part-glazed Victorian door to the street-facing gable end with plain squat chimney above. 9-pane near-flush sash window to W side wall.
Reason for designation
Included as a rare example in Barmouth of a C17/C18 vernacular cottage facing the old harbour, with good early C19 interior features.
