Smaller gentry house, late C18, built for the Gogerddan estate and called Gloucester Hall until 1961, apparently named for a Pryse family connection with the county. Lewis Pryse who inherited in 1774 came from Painswick, Glos. but the name Gloucester Hall is recorded back to 1755. It was occupied after 1815 by Richard Claridge, estate manager to the Gogerddan estate. Marked on 1845 Tithe map.

S front has projecting hipped section to left with sash over shallow canted bay of 2-12-2 panes. Left side wall has square rubble stone chimney. Short right return wall has sash over half-glazed door. Three-bay main range to right with brick chimney on ridge to left (stone in old photograph) and massive stone end chimney to right. Shorter sashes above (9-pane in old photograph), and ground floor has sash to left, C20 French window centre (door with lozenge tracery to overlight in old photograph) and 2-12-2-pane shallow canted bay to right.
