History
Shown on the Llangadwaladr tithe map of 1839. Remodelled in the late C19 with the addition of red brick detail.

Openings under segmental brick heads (painted black & white). Entrance front facing N, garden front to S. The N front has a C20 boarded door to far L and 3-light small-pane casement windows, probably with iron glazing, those to upper storey with brick sills. Small lean-to to E gable end. Rear not seen.
