A boarded door flanked by small 4-pane sash windows to each elevation. A very small rooflight to the loft towards the left end of the roof slope. Some stones around the door project.

Reasons for Listing

Included as a very good and well preserved example of the smaller vernacular cottage - a type characteristic of NW Wales, and of group value in the nucleated village of Llangybi.
