History

Probably c1830, the house has the character of a villa or gentleman's residence, sited and oriented to command a prospect over the Menai Strait.

Exterior

Villa in a simple Regency style. Masonry, as ashlar to main elevations. Hipped slate roofs, with pronounced overhang to eaves. End-wall and axial stacks. Two storeyed, the house comprises a main range facing SE, with a long service range partly enclosing a courtyard to the rear. Main elevation to SE has polygonal full-height bay with hipped roof to right (possibly a later addition as it employs a greyer stone); 3-window range to its left, with arcaded veranda (probably decorative ironwork) to ground floor. This encloses doorway to the right (alongside the canted bay), set centrally overall. Windows throughout are elegantly proportioned 12-pane sashes.
Rear elevations not fully inspected.

Interior

Interior not inspected.

Reasons for Listing
