Set back from the E side of Allt-Bron-Phillip, c0.5km S of the Church of St Dona.

The house is recorded in the Tithe Apportionment of the parish, 1846, as owned by Thomas Peers Williams Esq, with David Roberts the tenant and farmer of over18 acres. By the time of the Census Returns of 1851 David Roberts was resident and then recorded as the farmer of over 81 acres, living at the house with his wife, 8 children, 1 visitor and 1 house servant and employing 4 labourers on the farm.
The rear of the house is visible from the road and it can be seen that the windows have been replaced with PVCu windows, and the roof has been re-slated since the original listing description.
