Cadw's description
Location
Located on the eastern side of the village street, from which it is set back, with the Independent Chapel it serves directly adjacent.
History
Not shown on the 1840 Tithe Map, the house appears to have been constructed as a manse for the adjacent chapel when it was rebuilt c1860.
Exterior
Regularly coursed and dressed granite blocks, rendered to gable ends; slate roof with rendered integral end stacks. 2 storeys. 3-window front; 4-paned sashes directly below eaves and C20 windows to either side of central entrance (C20 half-glazed door), ground-floor windows and doorway all with stone lintels. Single-storey lean-to on right gable end with small 4-paned sash window to front and integral stack to side.
Interior
Interior not inspected at time of resurvey.
Reason for designation
Included as an essentially unaltered mid-C19 manse built to serve the contemporary chapel, with which it forms a group as the nucleus of a typical upland hamlet in the slate quarrying landscape.
