History

Built as a pair of mid-C19 farmhouses forming a single farm unit associated with the rapid agricultural expansion of the area promoted by the Penrhyn Estate at this period. Although the masonry of the 2 dwellings is rather cruder than that of the adjoining farmbuildings and may suggest an earlier origin, both dwellings and farmbuildings in their present form appear to be roughly contemporary, along with the now ruinous and disused cottage on the same site. The dwellings were unoccupied at time of Survey but they were probably latterly occupied as a single farmhouse.

Exterior

Pair of 2-storey, 2-room farmhouses forming a long rectangular block aligned north-south. Roughly coursed rubblestone with buttered pointing; slate roof with brick coping to gable ends. Each unit has 12-paned horizontal sliding sashes with slate cills and lintels on each floor flanking slightly offset lean-to stone porches; lower left window to southern part and upper right window to northern unit replaced and lower right window to northern unit infilled; integral red brick end stacks and ridge stack shared between the 2 dwellings.

Interior

Interior not accessible at time of Survey.

Reasons for Listing

Included as an unaltered mid-C19 pair of farmhouses forming a single farm unit associated with the Penrhyn Estate's expansion of agriculture at this period; the dwellings are an important physical survival of this process and form a good group with their adjoining contemporary farmbuildings.
