Cadw's description
Location
Located in a prominent position in the angle of 2 lanes, facing Pont Trystion. At the S end of the village and reached off the E side of the B4401.
Exterior
No. 1 consists of the E part of the rear range. The N side has C20 split-doors under a segmental brick head flanked by a C20 top-hung window in original opening to L and a small casement to R with concrete lintel. The E gable end is only 2-storey to the L where the ground rises and is of rubble stone. Against the stack is a C20 open gabled porch inside which are split doors. To the L, at 2nd floor level, is a C20 cast iron balcony and inset French doors, probably replacing a former window. Very small light to gable. Small C20 plain-glazed window to R of stack, lighting 1st floor.
Interior
No access to interior at time of inspection.
Reason for designation
Listed as a house retaining good early C19 character, and for the social historical importance of an institutional building which was built to serve a rural industrial community. Group value with Pont Trystion and neighbouring woollen factories.
