Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.

Unitary Authority
Gwynedd
Location
Set back from the road within its own original field system close to the ruins of a former water mill.
History
Shown on the 1840 Tithe Map, the cottage is likely to have been built as a smallholder's cottage in the early C19 and was probably associated with the nearby mill which, now ruinous, has not been included on this list.
Exterior
Single storey, limewashed irregularly coursed rubblestone; graded slate roof with coped verges and integral end stacks with slate drips. Road (east) elevation is the rear with C19 casements to left and right, both with slate cills; entrance elevation to west and probably with window on either side of offset doorway but not accessible at time of Survey.
Interior
Inspection of interior not possible at time of Survey but the presence of windows to the back wall suggests that the cottage may be divided into more than 2 rooms.
Reason for designation
Included as a largely unaltered smallholder's cottage set within its own small field system, a significant building type, which forms part of the region's distinctive upland settlement pattern.
