History

Rectangular gabled block, formerly part of the unit-planned Plas Brondanw complex and now three cottages. The house was long in the posession of the Williams family; William Williams of Plas Brondanw (d.1778) was 'the first to introduce sea banks to this part of Wales.' The house was inherited in 1908 by the renowned architect and conservationist (Sir) Clough Williams-Ellis, (creator of Portmeirion) and henceforth became his home. Together with his wife Amabel (Strachey) he laid out the important gardens and, over a number of decades erected or remodelled numerous buildings, follies and features around the Brondanw estate and the village of Garreg. This block, apparently always detatched from the main house, was altered in the late C19 and again in the C20 by Clough Williams-Ellis.
