Location
Situated on W side of road from Pont Cilgwyn to A4069, some 900m N of Pont Cilgwyn.
History
Mid to later C19 estate farmhouse built for the Holford estate of Cilgwyn. The farm on the site is mentioned in 1617 and marked on the Tithe Map of 1839 as Caer Gwynne, then unoccupied, but the map suggests that the house was on the site of the present stable. The Price family were tenants in later C19. The Cilgwyn estate was sold c1918.

Farmhouse, rubble stone with grey limestone dressings, slate roof with deeply overhanging eaves, wave-edged bargeboards and red brick end stacks. Flush limestone quoins. Two-storey, three-window range of 12-pane hornless sashes, larger to ground floor. Cut limestone to window sides and cambered heads, stone sills. Similar head to centre 4-panel door in steep-roofed gabled porch with slate roof, painted wave-edged bargeboards and finial. Porch structure has been rebuilt in C20 in red brick with metal side windows.
