Cadw's description
Location
The house stands prominently on a steep bank above the Britannia Inn.
History
Built in the late C18 or early C19, allegedly for a quarry owner.
Exterior
Built of whitewashed stone rubble, with a hipped slate roof. Two storeys, double-pile plan, having a 3-bay front facing S, with central panelled door and 12-paned sash windows each side, and similar 9-paned sashes above. All openings have painted wedge lintels and sills. The house is extended by one bay to the E, with similar windows, but with a lean-to roof behind a stepped parapet. Windows have been renewed to a similar pattern and the chimneys rebuilt in brick.
Reason for designation
Included as a good example of a Georgian house in a prominent position.
