C17 farm house later extended and to which cider mill was subsequently added. Acquired by the Glanusk Estate mid C19. Now a public house.
Two-storey main range with lower one-and-a-half-storey mill wing forward on L, forming an L-plan. The main range is 3 units with the original house to R. Of whitewashed rubble stone and stone tile roof. The main range has 3 C19 dressed stone ridge stacks. Two-window front. In the upper storey is an inserted casement to R under the wall plate, and 4-light casement to L in widened opening. The lower storey has inserted casements R and L of doorway, which has a boarded door inside an added gabled, timber-framed porch. (Added lean-to to R gable end.)
The mill has an outshut to front centre with double boarded cart doors and fleur-de-lys strap hinges. A one-and-a-half storey cross gable to R has a 2-light casement in the attic and stone steps on R side to former loft doorway. Further R, in the angle with the main range, is a shallow outshut with inserted casement. In the L gable end is an loft casement window in earlier opening. To the rear is a casement window R of centre and boarded door L of centre. Two added skylights to rear roof slope.
The main house has a large fireplace with timber lintel, and remains of a fireplace stair beside it (now cut through to toilets). Otherwise the interior is modernised. The former mill, now a restaurant, has a large cider press in the centre of the room.
A prominently sited building with traditional stone tile roofs, and of additional special interest as a former estate cider mill, a feature once common in the area.
