Cadw's description
Location
Remote rural location close to the route of the former Welsh Highland Railway, reached by a track off the no-through road running south-eastwards from Bontnewydd; the farmhouse sits in a garden with low rubble walls separate from its farmbuildings.
History
Shown on the 1839 Tithe Map, the farmhouse is likely to have been built in the 1820s; mid-C20 additions to rear.
Exterior
Farmhouse. Original 2-storey, 3-window front extended to rear in mid-C20 by 2-storey flat-roofed addition at right-angles to rear with single-storey range attached behind that. Uncoursed rubblestone, some in large blocks, neatly pointed to front, buttered to returns; slate roof with rendered integral end stacks. 16-paned glazing bar sashes to front, all with slate cills and lintels, first-floor centre blind and with painted 'dummy' window, lower right a horned replacement. Central entrance has C20 glazed door with shallow overlight. Sash window to first floor of left return.
Interior
Interior not accessible at time of Survey.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good example of a modest early C19 farmhouse, which although constructed of vernacular materials displays several of the polite architectural features characteristic of the period and building type; retains its original fenestration pattern.
