Large farmhouse, later C17 main range extended with kitchen wing to left in late C18 or early C19. Marked on 1842 Llandefalle Tithe map as owned by Lloyd Vaughan Watkins of Pennoyre, occupied by John Powell with 228 acres (92.3 hectares).
Exterior

The right end stack has big external chimney breast with two diagonally set late C17 shafts.

Service range gable is spaced well to left of other gables: 9-pane attic window, pair of imitation 12-pane sashes to first floor (replacing C19 4-pane sashes), and ground floor C20 glazed door (replacing C19 6-pane sash).

Reason for designation
Included despite altered windows for its special historic interest as a substantial C17 house.
