History

Probably mainly C17 cottage (it bears the date 1672) but possibly retaining the fabric of an earlier dwelling. Recorded in the local church leaflet to have been a Medieval Inn on the packhorse road from Maentwrog to Harlech. Later extensions and partially re-roofed in C20.

Exterior

Single storey cottage with 2 parallel wings set at right angles to rear and hipped roof porch to front. Built of roughly coursed rubble masonry. Roof of small old slates with stone copings, partially re-roofed, with massive gable stack with dripstones and capping to R and smaller capped stack to L gable. The windows are modern timber casements that appear to respect the original openings.

Interior

The interior could not be inspected at the time of the survey.

Reasons for Listing

Listed as a cottage range that retains good traditional character and unusual for having a datestone. Of interest for its association with the adjacent Church of St. Tecywn with which it forms a group, and for its historic links with the packhorse route, formerly the main route between Maentwrog and Harlech.
