Formerly known as Scotch Hall. Shown on 1838 Tithe Map as Scotch Hall, Garden and Offices occupied by William Jones.

Interior
Ground floor retains layout of central hall (with later stairs) and roughly square rooms with simple interiors (and later fireplaces) on either side.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good turn-of-C18 house in late Georgian style and for its group value with other items on the Llangollen Canal.
