Openings are offset to the L of centre and have cambered heads in the lower storey. The central doorway has a boarded door.

The R gable end has a replaced window upper R in the outshut, placed behind the line of a lower rubble wall abutting the gable end.

Reason for designation
Included for its special architectural interest as a good example of a regional vernacular house retaining traditional character. One of the few surviving historic buildings within the village of Brechfa, this is also a relatively rare example of a well-preserved village house of the nineteenth century.
