History

Not shown on the 1839 Tithe Map, the house is likely to have been built c1850, along with several others of similar status, as one of a number of properties built close to Caernarfon to serve the needs and aspirations of its emerging middle class.

Exterior

2 storeys and attic. Roughly L-shaped plan with lower service range attached to the short range of the L-shape. Rendered rubblestone (or possibly brick) with rendered quoins and dripstones; hipped slate roof with deep eaves. Main elevation to north-west; 3-window front with recessed sashes under dripstones, 9-paned to first floor, 12-paned to ground; central flat-roofed porch. 2 lead-capped round-arched dormers directly above outer windows to bottom of roof slope; wide integral end stacks. Right return, which continues to form south-west wall of rear range, has two 9-paned sashes on first floor and gabled dormer in roof slope; integral end stack to gable. North-east wall of this range has boarded door to left and sash window to right on both ground and first floors; dormer directly above. C20 windows to service range. The terrace to the front of the house is retained by a rubblestone revetment wall topped by a decorative-arched terracotta balustrade.
