Cadw's description
Location
Set back from the NW side of Ravenspoint road, at the junction with Penrhyn Garw and c500m SW of the Church of St. Ffraid in Trearddur Bay.
History
Early C19, built by Bates, a stonemason from Holyhead; thought to date from 1820's and locally reputed to have been the residence of Thomas Telford whilst work was carried out on the northern part of the route of the A5 across Anglesey. Built as one residence, now converted into 4 flats.
Exterior
A rectangular 2-storey, 4-window range; roughcast rendered walls with a hipped slate roof and rectangular rendered axial and end wall stacks. Main entrance elevation has entrance offset to left end with a timber porch of slender coupled chamfered columns supporting a moulded cornice; doorway in architrave with reeded pilasters, flanked by recessed moulded panels. Windows are slightly recessed hornless sash windows, 20-pane to ground floor, 16-pane to first floor; those to the rear are 6 and 8-pane casements. The house is abutted on the left side by a castellated rubble wall which has a square-headed gateway at the right and a modern gateway to left.
Interior
The interior layout has been extensively altered during the conversion to 4 dwellings and the original staircase removed. Said by the owners, to still retain original doors and covings and some fireplaces.
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine early C19 house retaining much of the original character externally, notwithstanding alterations to the interior.
