Cadw's description
Location
The cottage lies immediately NW of Vaynol Farm, facing towards the chapel. It was formerly known as Church Cottage.
History
Built in the mid-late C19, probably during the extensive improvements then being carried out on the estate, much of the work being carried out c1869. The design is similar to Ty Glo, which appears in the estate papers of 1871.
Exterior
Built of rubble stonework with a slate roof. Single storey, with a symmetrical S front; an open central porch with a 2-centred opening, the porch gabled with a ball finial. Modern windows to the original openings on either side, and a small square bay window to the left (W) gable. The roof is hipped, with wide eaves, and stacks on the rear wall.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with other listed items at the heart of the Vaynol Estate, and part of the remarkably complete set of appurtenances on the estate.
