Cadw's description
Location
Located overlooking the Camlad valley, on the W side of the farm road, off the Marton Road 600m W of Gunley.
History
Llwynyrhededd is a brick built house of the early-mid C18, a rare type in this area.
Exterior
Built of brick, with an old slate roof. Two storeys and attic, 'L'-plan with a forward wing on the right (E), extended to the rear beyond a timber framed gable by a lower 2-storey kitchen range. Front entrance in the re-entrant angle; a boarded door with glazed lights enclosed in a C20 lean-to. Mid-wall plat band of 3 courses stopping short of all corners, on all sides. W gable is raised and coped with stepped coursed bricks. Ribbed brick stack. The window positions have been altered leaving straight joints; some iron framed windows remain, probably C19 and others replaced in C20. Secondary entrance from the E to a lobby in front of the main stack. Cellar beneath the front wing.
Interior
Not accessible at the time of inspection (October 1996).
Reason for designation
Included as of special interest as an early brick-built house of substance.
