Interior
Not inspected at time of survey (August 1997), but said to retain fireplace stairs and post-and-panel partition between hall and parlour.
Reason for designation
Listed for the special interest of its origins as a good example of a traditional Breconshire farm house of C17, retaining good original detail.
