Location
Approximately 400m W of Merthyr Mawr church, set back from N side of a minor road from Merthyr Mawr village to Merthyr Mawr Warren.
Interior
In the rear wall is a blocked Tudor-headed doorway to the stair, housed in a projection which survives inside a lately added lean-to. The stairway has stone treads, a small stair light and a cross-slab roof. The roof of the house retains a central truss with curved-foot principals.
Reason for designation
Ton Farm and Ton Farm Cottage are included as a sub-medieval farmhouse retaining early plan form and detail.
