Location
Located 3.5 Km S of Brithdir, to the E of a lane running S from the B4416 to the A 470; accessed via a gated farm track.
History
Sub-Medieval storeyed farmhouse; probably early C17 with late C19 alterations.

Tall end chimneys with capping and weather-coursing. Central entrance with part-glazed C20 door. Flanking 2-pane casement windows. Off-set are three 4-pane casement windows. Later C19 storeyed, rendered extension to rear with rubble outshut to L. Later rubble extension to R with corrugated asbestos roof; modern part-glazed door to L.
