History

Built in 1782, as recorded in a roundel in the rear wall which reads: 'This house was built at the expense of John Williams in the Year 1782'.

Exterior

Georgian-style 2-storey cottage of whitewashed rubble stone. Slate roof with end stone stacks are later modifications. Three-window front offset slightly to R, with 12-pane hornless sashes and centrally-placed 6-panel door with 3-pane overlight. Two-window rear elevation has similar sash windows (except for modern casement lower L) offset to R, and a modern glazed door with 3-pane overlight. To R of door are stone steps to cellar which has a planked door. Centrally-placed beneath the eaves is a stone roundel, dated and inscribed as above, with a painted border in a square recess. The roundel was probably moved here from the N gable end when the adjoining Ty Dyffryn was added. Lean-to against R gable end is added and has a boarded stable door and squat stone stack to front, while side and rear openings are modern.

Interior

Not inspected at time of resurvey, but said to retain panelled shutters to windows.
