The house formed part of the Bodorgan estate, Anglesey seat of the Meyrick family and by late C19 the largest estate on the island and is recorded on the survey of the estate, carried out by Lewis Morris in 1724, at which time it was leased, along with Tre-Ddafydd-Uchaf, to Owen Owens.

Windows are slightly recessed sashes with margin panes (top-hung casement to first floor of advanced wing). The rear elevation has 2 first floor, small-pane sash windows. Back-kitchen with modern fenestration; lean-to abutting W gable end.
Reason for designation
Listed notwithstanding alterations, as a vernacular farmhouse possibly dating from C17 and illustrating an important phase in the development of the two-storey farmhouse on Anglesey.
