Reasons for Listing

Included as a characteristic work by Nesfield, a leader in the Domestic Revival style of the third quarter of the C19, and respecting, by the use of local materials, slate hanging and timber framing, the local vernacular.

It is an excellently composed small scale building, of group value with the entrance gates and walls, and an important element in the total ensemble of Plâs Dinam.
