Cadw's description

Located approximately 1km W of Beddgelert village, with the Nant Cwmcloch to its rear and adjoining Cwm Cloch Ganol to the S; accessed via a farmtrack from the Pont Alyn.

C18 farmhouse forming a pair with the adjoining Cwm Cloch Ganol, perhaps as a late example of unit planning. The farm originally formed part of the land holdings of the Augustinian priory of Beddgelert. Associated farm-buildings now derelict.

The interior was not inspected at the time of survey.

Listed for its special interest as a unit-planned C18 farmhouse complex retaining good external character.
