Cadw's description
Location
Situated on N side of road from Nanhoron to Rhydyclafdy about 1.3 km NE of Capel Nant.
History
Single storey croglofft cottage, probably earlier C19. Probably built as part of the commons encroachment at Mynytho. Marked on 1839 Tithe Map as Rhedyn-hirion, owned by the Nanhoron estate, occupied by Robert Rowlands. Also known as Rhedyn Rhuddion.
Exterior
Cottage, granite rubble stone in large green-brown boulders with slab lintels. C20 renewed slate roof with softwood gutterboard. Stone N end stack and larger pebbledashed S end stack. Single storey and loft, double fronted W facade with 6-pane sash each side of door, the facade offset to left. Lean-to on S end with W door. Doors are C20 half-glazed.
Interior
Croglofft or taflod over N end room, but loft floor extended over S end kitchen. Fireplace infilled.
Reason for designation
Included as one of the best surviving single storey cottages in the Mynytho area, an area of encroachment onto the common where these were the dominant building type.
