History

Built c1862 to replace an earlier farmhouse demolished to make way for the Central Wales Railway. The carved sandstone head over the rear doorway is said to have been brought from the porch of the old house, although its character suggests an ecclesiastical origin.

Exterior

A late-Georgian style 3-storey farmhouse with lower rear wing forming an L-shaped plan. The main range is roughcast with quoins and architraves, and has a hipped slate roof with tall square stacks to the rear. The rubble-stone rear wing has a gabled slate roof and end stack. The symmetrical 3-bay front has a central panelled door under a 2-pane overlight. Windows are 12-pane hornless sashes in the lower and middle storeys, and square 6-pane sashes in the upper storey. The end walls have 12-pane sash windows in the lower and middle storeys only. The 3-window rear wing has replaced windows under segmental heads in the middle storey, and a single replaced rectangular window above. Across the lower storey is an added lean-to, above which is a carved stone head.
