Location
Set above small walled garden on E side of main road, between Swn-y-Gan and High Trees.
History

Exterior
Symmetrical facade of three bays and two storeys. Construction of local coursed ashlar blocks. Slate roof. Gable chimneys of ashlar. Central round-arched doorway with radiating fanlight and C20 door. Ground floor 6/6-pane sashes; 3/6 pane sashes to first floor. Windows have flat heads with ashlar voussoirs.

Not inspected at the time of survey.
Reason for designation
Listed as a well-designed and constructed early C19 house, its character well-preserved.
