Cadw's description
Location
Lies about 1.2 km (0.75 mile) NW of Llandegley village, set back from main road.
History
Early C18, front roof-line raised in C19, modern extension at west end and modern lean-to porch.
Exterior
Two storeys, single pile, rubble stone, slate roof, tall squared end stack to right with decorative oversailing courses. Small, two-light, timber casement windows probably in their original openings.
Interior
Good quality C18 features with much structural ornamentation. Large open fireplace with chamfered timber lintel and later brick-lined bread oven. Chamfered and scroll-stopped beams and exposed joists, moulded brackets supporting beam ends. Substantial stud-wall partitions with chamfered and moulded door frames, one ornate timber door head has been reset in a doorway, now blocked, in the rear wall. First-floor door frames are chamfered with mason's mitres. Heavy boarded doors hung on gudgeon pins, some original window openings have chamfered and stopped lintels and scratch moulded cills. Unusual framed staircase has panelled string with lozenge decoration, scratch moulded newel posts and hand rails, flat barley-twist balusters and carved brackets on the underside.
Reason for designation
Included on account of unusually fine internal detailing from early C18.
