Cadw's description
Location
On the S side of a minor road approximately 4km NNE of Llanbadarn Fynydd.
History
A small upland farm of c1800 shown on the 1840 Tithe map, with minor later modifications, including addition of a rear outshut, and replacing the roof and stacks. Attached farm ranges are first shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey.
Exterior
A 2-storey 2-window cottage of rubble stone, rendered to the front, slate roof and brick end stacks. Windows are 2-light iron-framed casements in the lower storey, inserted into original camber-headed openings. The upper storey has 3-light iron-frame windows enlarged from the original openings. The boarded door is offset to the R of centre. On the R (N) side is a lofted rubble-stone cow house, its front rebuilt in blockwork with 3 doors. The loft is clad in corrugated asbestos-cement and has a 2-light small-pane casement window to the L. On the L (S) side is a lofted farm range clad in corrugated iron and part rebuilt in blockwork, with a corrugated-iron roof. It has 2 doors and 2 shuttered loft openings. A further range is at R angles to the gable end. The rear of the house has a rubble-stone outshut and two 2-light windows, and blockwork lateral extensions. Behind the downhill end is a hopper for animal feed.
Interior
Not inspected.
Reason for designation
Listed as a small early C19 farmhouse, a type once common in the district, retaining definite regional character.
