Mid to late C19 house and converted shop. The hamlet of Pentre Gwynfryn was built by the Griffiths family of Gwynfryn Farm, developed in the early to mid C19, by 1851 there were 15 houses in total, numbered 13 to 27 inclusive.

Slate roof with broad rectangular stacks with capping. Windows are 4-pane horned sashes with slate sills.
The present house appears to incorporate 3 units, the central of which is at the angle of the range. The SE elevation is a 3-window range including a 2-window house to R with panelled door to L hand. The single window part to L is mirrored on the SW wall and belongs to the end unit which has access via a doorway in the angle elevation. To the L end of the SW wall is another 2-window range, the L hand part of which is set back from the main elevation and has a boarded doorway under a shallow overlight.
