Marked on 1837 Tithe Map as part of the estate of Charles Bishop of Dolgarreg, Myddfai.

Farmhouse and outbuilding in line, rubble stone, formerly whitewashed, with slate roof and large roughcast external end stacks, larger to right. Two storeys, double fronted originally but with added first floor centre window. First floor has small-paned casement pair window each side and single casement with brick sides to centre. Timber lintels to original windows, concrete lintel to centre window. Ground floor 12-pane sash each side of C20 glazed door, stone voussoirs to all three openings.
