The house is probably of the early C18 and became a major farm on Lord Newborough's Glynlifon Estate, important as it controlled the tramway from Yr Eifl quarry to the quay at Trefor, for which a tonnage charge was levied. It appears on the 1840 Tithe Map.
Built of stone rubble, whitewashed, with a old grouted slate roof, coped at the SW end. Two storeys, 3 bays, with a lean-to outbuilding on the rear (SW) side and a service range in line. The main front of the dwelling house is symmetrical between gable end stacks. Central, modern glazed door and 4-pane sash windows, similar smaller windows to the first floor immediately under the eaves. Similar small windows at the rear, including either side of the lean-to dairy. The lower service building in line to the NW has similar windows including a 12-pane horizontal sliding sash window on the front, and a gable end stack.
The interior has been altered, but retains transverse ceiling beams with small ogee mouldings. Open fireplaces with ovens and fire beams, and a curved recess at the side of the fireplace in the extension for a boiler. Ceiled at collar level on the first floor, the roof rafters renewed in the earlier C20. The upper floor of the range in line, known as the lloft gleision, was long used for the composing and reading of poetry for the village of Trefor.
Inlcuded as a large traditional farmhouse retaining its original layout and a strong vernacular character its its detail.
