Cadw's description
Location
Located in the village of Llanllyfni on the south-east side of Ffordd Rhedyw (Rhedyw Road) directly opposite the Church of St Rhedyw.
History
Not shown on the l840 Tithe Map, the house belongs to the main phase of mid-C19 expansion in Llanllyfni following the creation of the turnpike road in the 1820s and the contemporary expansion of the slate quarrying industry.
Exterior
2-storey L-plan consisting of 3-window front range at right-angles to road with equal-height 2-bay range to rear on right running parallel with road. Roughcast and rendered rubblestone with painted quoins, string course and window surrounds; slate roof with integral end stack to left of main range. Central bay to front forms a slightly projecting gable, open on the ground floor with a 4-panel door (top panels glazed) to entrance. Late C20 2-light multi-paned Gothic windows throughout, all replacing earlier windows of similar design.
Interior
Interior not inspected at time of Survey.
Reason for designation
Included as a mid-C19 house with unusual Gothic detailing occupying a prominent position in the street scene directly opposite the Church of St Rhedyw.
