Cadw's description
Location
Facing the road on the N side of Ddol Ganol Farm and opposite a minor road to Ysceifiog.
History
A cottage incorporating a toll house and probably built in the late C18, although the windows are late C19.
Exterior
A single-storey 3-window cottage of rubble stone and slate roof, with stacks R of centre and at the L end. The windows are horizontal sliding sashes and are late C19 replacements in original openings, except the R-hand window, which replaces an original doorway. A boarded door is L of centre and has strap hinges. The L gable end has an inserted sash window to the L side and a smaller window to the R. Behind is an added parallel rear wing in rubble stone.
Interior
Not inspected.
