Cadw's description
Location
The two cottages, Tan-y-graean and the adjoining cottage to the N are situated above and on the E side of the main road through the valley, opposite Ty-isaf, south of the centre of Llanymawddwy.
History
One of a pair of cottages, probably built by the Estate of Sir William Roberts MD FRS of Bryn Hall who bought the Buckley Estate in 1876. The cottage was probably erected towards the end of the C19.
Exterior
Tan-y-graean has the central entrance door enclosed in a gabled porch, with the door re-fixed to the outside. The gable end stack is rebuilt.
Reason for designation
Included as a well preserved pair of estate cottages in a simple vernacular style, representative of the improvements carried out by a benevolent estate in the later C19.
