Cadw's description
Location
Located on the N side of the triangular Green, at the centre of the village.
Exterior
House of the late C18 or early C19. Whitewashed rubble, roughcasted to front, and slate roof. Two storeys and attic, with a lower 2-storey 1-bay extension to the left. Three bays, symmetrical facade, with central six-panelled door within a later gabled porch, glazed at the sides. Deep set 4-paned sashes, renewed, the central bay gabled with a 6-paned lunette window to the attic. Large gabled stacks with offsetting brick caps. The added bay has large 3-light windows, renewed on the ground floor.
Reason for designation
Included as being in a prominent position of group value on the Green, and as an example of the local style of larger house built at the turn of the C19.
