Cadw's description
Location
Facing the road behind a hedged front garden.
Exterior
A rubble-built single-storey rendered house under a medium-pitched decorative thatched roof. C17 with later alterations. Of 2 sections (formerly 2 cottages), that to the L with (originally) off-centre door, now a 9-pane fixed window. Irregular flanking fenestration with 2x 12-pane casements to the L and one to the R. Stepped-down and adjoining, a similar range, of which the right-hand part is a modern rebuild. Central entrance with modern door. Flanking windows as before, paired to the L and single to the R. Plain squat, rendered stacks, one to each section. Modern porches to the rear.
Interior
Evidence of cruck-framing inside.
Reason for designation
An example of a local thatched vernacular building of a type which is becoming increasingly scarce.
