History
Croglofft cottage, probably earlier to mid C19, said to have been called Erw, the name moved to modern house just N, the present name derived from a father and son who owned it for some 100 years. Not apparently marked on 1844 Tithe Map, when Erw, on a different site was owned by William Williams, occupied by William Parry.

Rear wall to road has small 4-pane sash left and 4-pane casement right.
Interior
Croglofft over N end, S end fireplace with stone slab lintel. Collar-truss roof.
Reason for designation
Included as a good example of the small croglofft cottage typical of the region, retaining its character in materials, scale of detail, and internal layout.
