History

Probably mid C19 house and byre of agricultural smallholding.

Exterior

Single storey cottage with attached byre to uphill side. Cottage and byre in stone, with painted front. Cottage has slate roof, and square stone chimney to L. Roughly central doorway with modern porch; the boarded and ledged door has long strap hinges to interior. To each side, a square 4-pane sash window. Byre, on uphill side has higher roofline; corrugated roof covering, two boarded doors.

Interior

Inside the house, the roof has been ceiled, no timbers are visible.
There is a modern (1960s?) fireplace; the doors to the flanking cupboards appear late C19. The house is divided by a wooden partition with machine sawn timbers and iron bolts. There are no windows to the rear.
The byre has a single rough roof truss with bolted joints, the other timbers are recent and support the corrugated roof.

Reasons for Listing

Mid C19 single storey dwelling and attached byre relatively rare in this part of southern Snowdonia where such buildings are more likely to be linked to quarry or slate industry. Although more likely to date from the mid C19 than earlier, its long low profile links it to the earlier traditions of planning rather than later ones.
