Cadw's description
Location
At the end of a short track on N side of the Pentraeth Road between Menai Bridge and Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. Farmstead with an L-plan range of farm buildings with farmhouse to the E, facing the road. Walled garden with slate gateposts.
History
Mid C19 farmhouse. The farm is included in the 1841 census returns for the parish. Shown on the 25" O.S. map (1st Edition). A Celtic carved stone head was found here set on the gatepost, now in Oriel Ynys Mon.
Exterior
Two storey, 3-window farmhouse, symmetrically planned with central entrance in SE elevation. Rubble walls of local stone, slate roof with rendered gable end stacks. 16-pane hornless sash windows, slightly recessed with plastered reveals, slate lintels and sills. Modern front door with render surround (replaces door with shallow rectangular fanlight, as seen on early C20 photographs). Modern windows to rear.
Interior
Retains original plan of 2 principal rooms with central stairwell, and some original detail including 6-panel doors.
Reason for designation
Listed as a well-preserved example of a vernacular farmhouse of mid C19 date, which with its associated farmbuildings, comprises a complete farmstead group.
