Cadw's description
Location
Set forward at an angle to the road with cobbled pavement to front.
Exterior
Later C19 roughcast 2-storey, 4-window front to complicated structure of three earlier build. Slate roof, hipped to right end, wide boarded eaves, large projecting chimney breast to right with brick flue. Cross-frame windows, 16-pane sash window to left end wall. Building dog-legs back to right with 2 further small roughcast and slate roofed ranges.
Roughcast rear with sash windows and gable ends to cross range, probably the earlier part
Interior
Interior retains much evidence of C17 origins; feather-stop chamfered beams and joists to ground floor left probably the last part to be built. A small recessed timber-framed internal window suggests the former existence of an outside wall to right of cross range in line with the chimney breast. The sawn-off purlins and wall plates to left and right further suggest that the cross range is the earliest part; although the roof construction to right appears earlier with cambered collars. All trusses with thick and dowelled timbers.
Reason for designation
