History

Not shown on the l840 Tithe Map, the house belongs to the main phase of mid-C19 expansion in Llanllyfni following the creation of the turnpike road in the 1820s and the contemporary expansion of the slate quarrying industry.

Exterior

2-storey L-plan consisting of 3-window front range at right-angles to road with equal-height 2-bay range to rear on right running parallel with road. Roughcast and rendered rubblestone with painted quoins, string course and window surrounds; slate roof with integral end stack to left of main range. Central bay to front forms a slightly projecting gable, open on the ground floor with a 4-panel door (top panels glazed) to entrance. Late C20 2-light multi-paned Gothic windows throughout, all replacing earlier windows of similar design.

Interior

Interior not inspected at time of Survey.
