Cadw's description
Location
On the east side of the A490 Llanfyllin Road, 0.5km approx. N of the roundabout to the W of Welshpool.
History
Probably C17 in origin, though with some later additions and rebuilding.
Exterior
The original house appears to be of T-plan type, with a massive rubble axial stack in the short rear wing, and a later outshut filling the angle of the two ranges. Cross range is partially timber framed: box framing in square panels exposed in front elevation, with painted brick infil; return elevation rebuilt in painted brick over rubble (perhaps in the early C19); construction of rear wing obscured by later outshut, which is also timber framed with painted brick infil but with small scantling timber. Doorway in return elevation of cross wing; early C19 small-paned iron casement windows, and 2x12-pane sash windows.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good example of a C17 farmhouse, retaining its early plan form and a substantial proportion of the original construction.
