History

Early C19, built by Bates, a stonemason from Holyhead; thought to date from 1820's and locally reputed to have been the residence of Thomas Telford whilst work was carried out on the northern part of the route of the A5 across Anglesey. Built as one residence, now converted into 4 flats.

Exterior

A rectangular 2-storey, 4-window range; roughcast rendered walls with a hipped slate roof and rectangular rendered axial and end wall stacks. Main entrance elevation has entrance offset to left end with a timber porch of slender coupled chamfered columns supporting a moulded cornice; doorway in architrave with reeded pilasters, flanked by recessed moulded panels. Windows are slightly recessed hornless sash windows, 20-pane to ground floor, 16-pane to first floor; those to the rear are 6 and 8-pane casements. The house is abutted on the left side by a castellated rubble wall which has a square-headed gateway at the right and a modern gateway to left.

Interior

The interior layout has been extensively altered during the conversion to 4 dwellings and the original staircase removed. Said by the owners, to still retain original doors and covings and some fireplaces.
