Early C19 cottage. The Tithe Map of Llanbadrig, 1844, shows a number of rectangular buildings along what is now Cemaes Bay High Street, and also a building set back from the road on what looks to be the site of the cottage. Cefn is not mentioned by name in the tithe schedule, but 'Ty Cefn' is listed in the census returns for the parish, 1841; being the home of Edward Owen, agricultural labourer, and his wife Elizabeth.
Early C19 lofted 2-unit plan cottage with single storey lean-to added to R (NE) end. Built of local rubble masonry, front and end wall pebbledash rendered; roof of old small slates, low raking dormers to front rising from the eaves. Rendered rectangular gable stacks with dripstones and capping. Lean-to with corrugated iron roof. The entrance elevation faces SE, opening onto a small enclosed yard; a 2-window range with doorway between. Ground floor windows are 4-pane sashes, with hornless sashes to the dormers. Single casement light in the R (NE) return, and blocked doorway to rear. Lean-to with boarded door.
Not inspected at time of resurvey.
Listed, notwithstanding condition, as a good early C19 cottage which retains its simple vernacular character, including the use of small roofing slates, and sash windows, and which is a rare survivor of the earlier settlement at Cemaes.
