Cadw's description
Location
Located in an isolated position within rubble-walled enclosure without vehicular access on hillside above the A 4086 at Nant Peris.
History
Small early C19 farmhouse; shown on 1838 Tithe Map when it belonged to Robert Rowland with just over 92 acres (37.26ha).
Exterior
Farmhouse. 2-storey, 2-room plan with central staircase and integral end stacks, the left very deep and forming what amounts to an additional bay. Limewashed rubblestone, rendered to chimney bay; slate roof. 3-window front; 4-paned sashes to first floor, 2-light multi-paned casement and C20 casement to right of central entrance, all with slate cills. C20 extension to rear on right continues as a lean-to along part of back wall.
Interior
Interior not accessible at time of survey.
Reason for designation
Listed as a substantially unaltered early C19 farmhouse, built within the local vernacular tradition, and forming a significant element in the dispersed settlement pattern of Nant Peris.
