Cadw's description
Location
Set back, within private grounds, from the SE side of a country road which leads SW off the A5025 to join the Penmynydd Road.
History
C16 S portion with 1662 wing at right angles; modernised.
Recorded in Smith's Houses of the Welsh Countryside as "Regional house type A (lateral chimney and inside cross passage plan)", with date inscription 1662 and ovolo moulded mullioned windows.
The will of Henry Wynne of Penheskin (14th May 1660) committed his wife to his sons care and has articles enumerated which appear to be the representation of the whole of the more valuable furnishings of the older part of the present house. A stone on the newer part, bearing the date and initials: 1662 / R W suggests that his heir, Richard Wynne, lost no time in enlarging the house after his father's death.
Exterior
Two storey, 4-window house; grey grit rendered walls, with boulder foundations. Recessed sash windows with glazing bars. Earlier portion has roof of old small slates. Later portion has roof of thin slates and sculptured head with date.
Interior
Not inspected but earlier description notes that older part of house has wide fireplace, hewn beams and rough chamfered joists.
Reason for designation
Listed as a sub-medieval house of regional character.
