Marked in 1832 Danyrallt estate map book as owned by E P Lloyd of Glansevin, and on 1839 Tithe Map as the Glansevin Arms, occupied by Thomas Evans. The veranda-roof between the bays on the front is an addition of c1900.

House, painted stucco, slate roof with crested terracotta ridge tiles, paired brackets to eaves, short stuccoed end stacks. Two-storey, 5-window range. 12-pane sashes to first floor. Ground floor has right and left end square bays with fixed shallow bow windows of 4x4 panes. Between bays are original 12-pane sashes each side of centre arched door opening. Four-panel door and radiating-bar fanlight. A late C19 pent slate roof extends over full width of ground floor, hipped at ends, with fish-scale slates and terracotta ridged tiles on hips. Turned and fretted painted timber ornamental eaves fringe of pendants carrying arched nogged braces to short keystone-pendants. Small door right of right window within veranda presumably inserted later.
