Cadw's description
Location
Situated immediately to north of church in centre of village; full-length rubblestone wall with iron gates to small front gardens follows concave curve of road to front.
History
Built between 1850 and 1860 as part of the third Lord Newborough's replanning of Llandwrog as an estate village.
Interior
Interior not inspected at time of Survey.
Reason for designation
Included as a particularly striking piece of estate village planning, using a consistent Picturesque architectural vocabulary and unusual in its choice of the crescent shape for buildings of this modest scale. Llandwrog is among the best-preserved Victorian estate villages in this part of Wales.
