Cadw's description
Location
Situated towards E end of Cwm Tynant on N side of the valley, approached by long drive from road E of Bwlchglas Mine.
History
Possibly later C18 farmhouse, marked on 1847 Tithe Map as Alltgoch, owned by Evan Hughes and Jane James, occupied by Harry Harries.
Exterior
Whitewashed rubble stone with steep-pitched slate roof, and stone end stacks, larger to left. Two-storey irregular long low front. Two-unit plan. Two widely separated first floor casement pairs under eaves. Ground floor casement pair to right aligned with window above, off-centre ledged door, casement pair, set to right of window above, and then very small fire-window. Stone slab lintels. Ruined stone outbuildings each end. Rear centre slated lean-to, no outshut.
Reason for designation
One of the best examples of a traditional vernacular farmhouse in the region, still showing the irregular facade division and low upper floor.
