Location
Approximately 2km N of Caerwys town centre on the N side of a minor road between Caerwys and Babell.
History
An C18 or early C19 roadside smallholding, shown on the 1849 Tithe map. Rendering and other external details are late C19.
Exterior
A smallholding comprising dwelling with attached agricultural range. The 2-storey 2-window cottage is of pebble-dashed walls with smooth-rendered quoins and architraves, and slate roof, with external stack to the R and end stack to the L. The central boarded door, formerly in a gabled porch, is now within a half-glazed porch on blockwork dwarf wall. The windows are late C19 4-pane horizontal-sliding sashes in earlier openings, and are segmental-headed in the lower storey.
To the L is the lower agricultural range, probably originally incorporating a barn and granary. It has whitened rubble-stone walls and slate roof. A central doorway has a segmental headed boarded door, to the R of which is a window converted from a doorway and an inserted loft window. To centre and L and three narrow loft vents. The L gable end has a boarded loft door under a wooden lintel, reached up external stone steps with treads renewed in concrete.
