Cadw's description
Location
The farmhouse stands back from the road running from the main A487 Tremadoc to Caernarfon Road to Garndolbenmaen.
History
The front of the building is a late C18 or early C19 remodelling of a C17 farmhouse, parts of which survive at the rear.
Exterior
Built of stone and whitewashed, with a slate roof. Two storeys, 3 bays. The main front, facing SW, is approximately symmetrical though offset to the right, with a central entrance to a stair hall. Part glazed 4-panelled door, set within a C19 boarded pitched-roof open porch. Sixteen paned sash windows on both floors, that to the main parlour on the right larger. Gable stacks.
Reason for designation
Included as a good example of an improved early C19 farmhouse.
