The earliest parish register entry records the burial of John Lloyd in 1696. The house and adjoining land, 120 acres (48.6 hectares) in 1813, formed part of the Plas Llanddyfnan estate. By the time of the Tithe Apportionment of 1841 the house recorded as being owned by Sir Harry Dent Goring Esq and occupied and farmed by William Williams and his family along with 1 servant and 6 labourers. The house was extended by the addition of a service wing to rear, built to form an L shaped plan, probably in late C19 and later raised to 2 storeys. Modernised and re-roofed in the late C20.
