Cadw's description
Location

History
Built c1850 as an estate worker's cottage during the ownership of the third Lord Newborough.
Exterior
Mild Picturesque Gothic style favoured by the Newborough Estate. Original 2-storey cross-plan with large, loosely attached C20 single-storey addition to south-east. C19 building of roughly coursed rubblestone and slate roof with deep overhanging verges and exposed purlin ends; similar materials to C20 extension.

Tall stack to ridge of south gable; C20 extension has large 4-light window in south gable end.
Interior

Reason for designation
Included, notwithstanding C20 extension, as an essentially well-preserved mid-C19 estate worker's cottage on the remarkably complete C19 Glynllifon Estate.
