History

An encroachment cottage of the early C19. Brynffynnon was noted in 1841 amongst a large number of allotments of common of under 20 years duration, the house therefore built no earlier than 1821; a tenancy of John Davies under the Wynnstay estate. The cottage may have been blind-back prior to the addition of the C20 rear extension. The estate at this period appears to have generally tolerated encroachments or sponsored developments; perhaps a policy related to enclosure.

Exterior

Windows aligned vertically at left and right, now with timber casements. Lightly constructed later central porch. Small front enclosure with stone wall and timber gate.

Flat-roofed C20 rear and side extensions, the latter with a window overlooking the front enclosure.
