Cadw's description
Location
The cottage is set in the angle between two minor roads winding around the SW side of Mynydd Tir-y-cwmwd.
History
The cottage appears to be one of a cluster of encroachment cottages on the back of the steep hill. This one is apparently of the later C19, but may be a rebuild of a previous more humble cottage on the site.
Exterior
The building is constructed of local stone rubble on a platform levelled out of the side of the hill. Irregular slate roof. One and a half storeys, with a central part-glazed door and 4-pane horned sash windows each side, and similar shorter windows to the upper floor. Squat gable end stacks. The building is extended in line to the SE by a single-storey outbuilding of boulders and a slate roof. Stable door. At the rear only the upper floor above ground; this has one sash window.
Interior
Not seen at the time of inspection.
Reason for designation
Included as a smaller vernacular building retaining in its siting the character of an encroachment on common land, and with detail characteristic of the survival of vernacular tradition into the mid C19.
