Cadw's description

Location

At the E end of Glanyrafon, and set back from the road behind a walled garden.

History

Built as estate cottages in the early C19 by John Douglas, who purchased Gyrn Castle in 1817, and shown on the 1839 Tithe map.

Interior

Not inspected.

Reason for designation

Listed, notwithstanding superficial alteration, as an estate cottage retaining early character, and for group value with other listed former estate buildings in Glanyrafon, in the context of which they illustrate a humbler form of estate dwelling.
